Using the commands: File>Save As> Options you can get to a dialogue box that
appears to offers graphics compression much like the Windows version. In
addition you can adjust screen resolution. I haven't experimented with this,
but i presume it reduces file size.
I saw your other post on that, Terry. If this is the dialog I'm thinking of, it
sets the resolution and compression of the images you get when you save your PPT as
JPG/PNG/What/Ever files, but doesn't change images that are already in a PPT.
The other option would be to save the presentation as a movie. Never tried
that.
It makes a QT movie, which Windows computers can't use unless they have a QuickTime
player installed. Most don't. If the audience is Mac-only, it's not a bad idea.

Wow Steve, you're so helpful. Thanks. This is so appreciated.
My pleasure ...
1a)So if I brought my ppt file to a friend's house and used their PC, I
could do the last step to reduce the file size? How?
You'd rightclick any picture, choose Format, then on the formatting dialog box,
choose Compress Picture. That leads to another dialog where you can choose a
compression setting and whether to compress just the current image or all
images.
I'd try this on a COPY of your real file.
3) Does that apply to pps also? I wouldn't send ppt because I want the show
to run automatically.
Pretty much anything that applies to one applies to the other. They're
actually identical files. Only the file extensions (.PPS vs .PPT) on Windows
and the file info on Mac are different. These bits simply tell the computer to
open the presentation as a show rather than in edit mode. The files themselves
are the same.
I tried saving as html to see what it gave but I don't have a website to
host it on. Can't remember the details, but coudln't send it or something.
Not necessary .... you can save it to your hard drive then launch it from there
in your browser to test it. You'd need a way of putting it on a site
eventually, of course.
I really want it to run automatically.
That can be made to happen in HTML, but as far as I know, only from a PC.
There's a demo of the software at http://www.pptools.com/ppt2html/
A few cautions: it takes a certain amount of HTML knowledge to set it up, and
the software's written by a notorious eccentric. That'd be me. ;-)
No Mac version, unfortunately.
4) I don't know what the .dat file was but she later emailed saying she also
found a .pps file and could open it.
Getting there - this is so exciting.
