    Hi John,

    You can save individual pictures into smaller file sizes by
    control-clicking them and choose Save As Picture. You can control the
    file size somewhat by going to PowerPoint's preferences and click on the
    Save tab. The picture formats don't all adhere strictly to the settings
    there (known bug). These are the largest sizes that the pictures will
    save in regardless of the setting you choose:
    TIFF 72dpi
    JPEG 72dpi
    PICT 1200dpi
    PNG 300dpi
    BMP 72dpi
    GIF 72dpi

    Once you save the picture, delete the one in the presentation then drag
    the one you just saved back into the presentation.

    There are some products that can trim file sizes of presentations.
    Impatica offers a good balance between screen quality and file size.

    -Jim
