PowerPoint File size and and missing pictures

[Patrick Ford]

Greetings:

I want to read a PPT presentation from a CD into PowerPoint for Mac OS
X. On the CD, the file size is about 7,150K. The directory is not seen
when I put the disk into the DC tray Under Mac OS X. I can read the CD
when I run VPC 6 Windows XP Home ed. on the same machine and then copy
the file to the hard drive.

When I attempt to open it in under Mac OS X, none of the pictures are
in the presentation! (This is also the case with OpenOffice.)

On a computer at work, I can open the presentation and see all the
pictures. When I save the file as a Presentation .ppt format it is
5,738K, consistent with a block size difference. When I save it as a
PowerPoint 97-2000 & 95 Presentation it is 126,838K, in the same
directory!

(1) Why the huge file size difference?
(2) Why are the images lost when I open it with PowerPoint for Mac OS
X?

Thanks

(2)
What type of images were they in the 1st place (e.g. TIF PNG BMP JPG) etc.

Was the presentation created on a PC in the 1st place?

What pixel resolution are the pictures...e.g. 2000x1000 pixels

Cheers

PS: rereading my post, I see that what I said could be interpreted in
more than one way. To clarify, when I saved the huge file as a Mac X
PP presentation, the file size became the original small size, about
22x smaller.
