PowerPoint Tip
Keeping the file size of a PowerPoint presentation containing mainly images has always been a time consuming task, copying every image to be in the presentation, saving them to an appropriate size and resolution keeping the quality of the image sharp but the file size small. If this process is ignored (often it is) presentations can become slow, jumpy and in the worst case have big delays between slides.
This has now been addressed it the latest version of the software with the facility to change the size and resolution allowing images to be added at any size, reduced and cropped once the presentation is complete.
This feature can be found by selecting an image, selecting Format, select Compress Pictures.
Then you have several options depending on the purpose for presentation. Be aware this cannot be undone so if you want to email the presentation but also print it make a version for each.
