How do I send a large Powerpoint file as an attachment in Outlook

[dda]

I have a 24MB Powerpoint file that I want to email through Outlook. I tried
to use Pack and Go, which creates an .exe file but Oulook blocks it. How can
I send this big of file through Outlook?

First thing that came to my mind is why is the file so big? You might want
to see if any of the ideas in this entry of Steve Rindsberg's PPT FAQ help:
Why are my PowerPoint files so big? What can I do about it?

(First thing I would check (which is on that list) is that Fast Saves is
turned off.)

What Kathy said regarding, it's probably best to see why the file is soo big
in the first place.

things to add....

if you ZIP the file (www.winzip.com) then you may see a 5-10% reduction in
size.

if you have some free webspace.... then consider uploading (FTP) the file,
then just email the download link.

One other way make Outlook quit looking out for you: Rename the exe file
with some other extension, such as .zzz

Tell the recipient that he/she has to save the file to a drive and rename it
back to .exe.
