Squeezin' out the Pixals

Slim PP Fast

When you insert pictures into a PowerPoint show, the size of the file begins to bloat. There is a built in tool that helps.

1. Select the graphic.
   
2. Right-click and pick "Format Picture".
   
3. Click the "Picture" tab and click on the "Compress" button.
   
4. Click "Selected pictures" to compress the currently picture. Choose "All pictures in document" to handle all images in the show.
   
5. In the "Change resolution" section, choose how your show is going to be presented.
   
6. In the "Options" section, check both "Compress pictures" and "Delete cropped areas of pictures."
   
7. OK your way out.

In PowerPoint 2007+ select the picture and look at the Picture Tools >Format group.
