[Year 12 IPM] Compressing Powerpoint Files_OT

[Stephen Digby]

Also, try right click on an image, select properties, compress and use the
option to compress all pictures in the powerpoint.
NOTE: this will ONLY work for inserted jpeg images.
IF your system defualt is to regard images as quicktime jpg's or you pasted
them as bitmaps, the compression option will not reduce their size.
Have had this problem with many students.
Suggest to them that they always "Paste Special" and ensure that the picture
is a jpeg image.

And make sure that any included images are screen resolution not print
resolution... eg - make sure to save images at 72 DPI - not 300 DPI before
inserting.

I've also reduced a presentation file with lots of images by 2 thirds just
by taking screen shots of the image-rich montages I'd created, and inserting
a single screen-resolution image instead of the 4 or 5 high-res jpgs I'd
used originally.
