Large File Sizes
I'm having a problem with file size for a particular
file. The file is based on a template from my company, and even if I cut it to one slide of text only, the file is over 2MB. I assumed this was based on background images, which I tried to replace with just a simple white background. However, even after doing this, the file remained at 2MB. I even went so far as applying another design template, one that seemed very basic, but the file size didn't change. What am I missing here? Is there any simple technique (or VBA code) that allows me to strip out whatever is causing this, especially for situations when dial-up is required? Thanks, Todd |

Excellent. Thanks. I think it's the Outlook review
feature that was messing me up. I also want to setup an option that allow me to remove background images from master slides. Anyone have a quick set of code I could use for this? I suspect I can figure it out, but thought I'd ask. Thanks again. Todd -----Original Message----- See the info at: Why are my PowerPoint files so big?

Todd,
View Master Slide Master Select the image and delete it Or it may be in "format background fill effects picture"...so just give it a fill color to override the picture.
