Re: Inserting Large Images

That's a very good summary, Dennis. Thank you.

Also, you can choose to compress all the pix in the presentation at once.
Might save you some time.

Oh, and you're right -- DPI is the same as PPI in this dialog. I think it's
because the Print option lists 200 dpi (which makes sense), and I guess MS
figured having PPI in the web/screen setting would cause more people to
question it than if they just said DPI.
