How do you manage to get 500 kb in a powerpoint?
 
I have several ppts made in pptx file with about 300kb but when I turn them to ppt file they get 1,5 M. I don �t know what to do. I �ve tried pptminimizer, nxpowerlite 4 but they are useless.
 
Do you have the magic potion?
 
Big hugs

What works at least for me it �s to divide the presentations in parts. So, you can upload presentation.ppt part 1, part 2 and so on. Then, the people who download the parts, makes one presenation out of them.
Hope it helps!!!

I �d be great if you compressed your pictures - that would lighten your materials.
You can compress them in word or you can use a image program such as PowerLite.
It �s always nice if you upload in one ppt instead of making people download it twice.
Works for me.

Here are some tutorials on compressing images and more.

Hi Libertybelle
 
I have just seen your message and thank you for answering me.
 
But I have already compressed the picts. The problem is on the text boxes: each one is 9kb heavy!!! and I have a lot of text boxes.
 
I don �t know why. When I open a blank ppt document and turn it to ppt it already is 100kb!!!!
 
Well!!! I just have to forget ppts!
 
It is impossible to send them.
 
Thank you Libertybelle and have a good night.

I must agree with you teresaraiva - I �ve just finished my pptx which is only 226kb but after turning it into ppt it �s more than 800. It �s a game with 32 pages and I really do not know how to make it smaller... Probably I have to forget ppts or at least sharing them.
