Problem uploading a Powerpoint
 
Hello everybody!
 
Two weeks ago I upload three parts of a powerpoint and I had no problem at all. However, it has been totally impossible to upload the fourth part of the full presentation. It is not a question of size since it has 499 kb. After choosing my powerpoint, pressing send  and waiting for some time, my computer says that it is not possible to show the web page.
 
What can I do? Please, help me.

Hi, I have also tried to upload stuff that was right at the limit.  I always had to reduce  the file a little to get it to upload.  Usually I did this with AC/DSee  and made a couple of the graphics lighter and reinserted them into the project.  I �m sorry, but I think you will have to lighten up your file.  I hope this helps.

Hi gabrielaalonso9,

as susiebelle wrote, it �s usually the size that �s a problem - especially when you �re near the limit. As a general guide, when you look at the file size (right click the document thumbnail & check properties) you can see 2 numbers - the file size & the �space on disc � size. If the �on disc � size is under 500kb then you should be alright.

Feel free to PM me if you think I can help further.

Cheers,
AB
