How do I compress pictures for slide show
If you are using PPT 2002 or 2003, you can compress your pictures from
within the program. In the edit interface, bring up a slide with one of the pictures. Right click the picture and select "Format Picture". Click the Picture tab. Towards the bottom of that tab is a Compress button. Click it. You can select options to compress all pictures or just the selected ones, as well as what resolution you want and what you want removed from the picture. Once you have set the options, click OK and the pictures will compress. OK your way out, save the file and it should be smaller. If it isn't, check to see if you have "Fast Saves" turned on (Tools--Options--Save tab)... If it is checked, uncheck it, ok your way out and save the file under a new name. The file should then shrink down. (By the way: The fast saves thing applies to all versions of PPT.)

How do I compress pictures for slide show
Thanks Kathy, but I presently only have Powerpoint 2000. Is there anything I can do there short of upgrading to Office 2003 or XP. If I need to upgrade, which is the re better choice. I am running XP on a Dell tower less than 1 year old.
