Anyway to shrink a powerpoint file size aside from zipping?

[FortFunFoSho]

Anyone have any ideas?

Rar?

What's wrong with zipping it?

Take out all that flashy crap, fancy animations, stupid soundtracks, and other Presentation Rice.

Hmm. Have minimal images and am worried the other end wont know how to unzip the file..

File -> New
File -> Save As

Create a self extracting .exe then if you don't think they can figure it out.

Self extracting zip/rar?

Exactly how big is it? How big are you trying to make it? Floppy sized or email sized?


Take out transitions. They are annoying, hardly functional, and waste space.

Kill clip art. It's uneffective. It's like putting sprinkles on a wedding cake.

You could divide into multiple presentations if there is a good point to do so. Having a 120 Slide PPT is dumb, especially if you change subjects enough to stop the train of thought. If you are stopping someone's thought pattern, then it won't hurt to stop and open a new file.
