To keep your PowerPoint file sizes down, use the Insert Menu (Insert » Picture » From File...) to insert pictures and graphics, rather than drag-and-dropping pictures straight into the document. This can make a notable difference, depending on the size of your document and the number of embedded images.

Reduce the disk space used by PowerPoint files
Another method is to take any large photos you've imported, click on them, and grab the scratch tool. Make a short stroke across the photo (it will not do anything to the photo). This reformats the embedded photo creating a smaller ppt file. This also has the advantage of reformatting photos that may not display on Windows PCs without Quicktime (which I believe was an old hint).
Reduce the disk space used by PowerPoint files
stupid question: does the 'insert' command actually embed the image or is it linking to a separate file? could be a sucky outcome if it's not all self-contained.
Reduce the disk space used by PowerPoint files
It's embedded & self-contained.
Reduce the disk space used by PowerPoint files
Last time I added graphics in this manner (using the "Insert>Picture>from File" command), PowerPoint complained about not being able to find the graphics when I moved the preso to another Mac; I had to bring over the graphic files from the original Mac before the preso would work.
Reduce the disk space used by PowerPoint files
You can reduce the space used by PowerPoint completely if you just switch to Keynote? ;)
Reduce the disk space used by PowerPoint files
I've been using this tip for a long time. Drag-and-dropped images coming from Safari are embedded in a format that is unreadable by some Windows computers without QuickTime installed. This fixes the problem.
Reduce the disk space used by PowerPoint files
Yes, Keynote, but the objection usually raised is how to show/share the presentation with non-Mac (or non-Keynote) users. The solution: convert the presentation to pdf. You lose the fancy transitions (a distraction, in my book), and embedding movies is not easy (but can be done), but for most presentations pdf is just fine and will show on any computer anywhere. |
