POWERPOINT HELP!
 
HI, I am in need of help.. I am doing a ppt presenttation in ms office 2007 which is 299kb but since we are not allowed to upload in the 2007 format, i saved it with the option of 2003. the problem is that the file grew to 2108 kb. I don �t understant why so much and if i am doing something wrong since i just copy/pasted it into a new document, nothing added. The question is  if there is a way to fix that so i can upload it here.

Hi,
I had the same problem, and I realized that I had used a "wordart" that was very heavy in .doc while it was fine in .docx, don �t ask me why! I also had some problems with the background which was too heavy in .doc... I had to suppress the wordart and put a simple background instead of a fancy one...
I hope I could help you more, but check that first and tell if it changed anything...
good night (it �s 9pm in France)

Hi!

Don�t paste it into another document. As soon as you finish, click on a picture and choose �compact� > all pictures > email (96). Then �save as� > presentation 97/2003.

If you use many of ppt 2007 resources that are not available on ppt 97/2003, you�ll get a warning before saving. It means ppt 97 will �interpret� those resources to get an approximated result, and this feature can make your ppt 97 grow a lot.

Some of the features on ppt 2007 that increase the size in ppt 93: wordArt, backgrounds, some themes. Erase all of those resources before saving it as ppt 97. If you want to have them in your presentation, insert them in ppt 97, after converting.

Hope it helps.

Hi again!

When you left click on a picture, the image panel will open. Click on it (on the top), and on the left top you�ll see the �compact� option.

Hope it helps.
