Shrinking Powerpoint SIZE

[schottgun]

Is there any way to shrink the entire size of the power point in order to
allow its "load" time to shorten on a website??

Thanks,

Mike Schott

Is there anyway to convert the presentation to HTML?

Open presentation in PowerPoint, and use the save as web page as your
choice.

Ok, I went ahead and did that. However it is not completely animating. It
doesnt play the embedded wav files and the animation is out of sequence?!?!

Any chance you could provide us with a link to look at the presentation. It
is extremely difficult to visualize "not completely animating" and
"animation is out of sequence" The embedded wave files that are not playing.
How were they embedded?

Sure thing!

The Main problem that Im having is getting the presentation to load quickly.
There are not a lot of people that aregoing to be patient enough to wait for
it to load. Plus, there is no way of telling that it is loading...folks
immediately think that their PC has froze. The presentation is loaded into
front page and I am not fluent in front page at all. We have our web guy take
care of the website, however he's clueless when it comes to powerpoint.

Thanks a bunch,

Mike Schott

Would have liked to see a link to the generated web pages instead of the pps
file. However, loading into FrontPage is not the problem. The problem is
that the presentation is pretty close to 20 meg in size which has to be
downloaded on to the clients system before anything can happen. this is
going to slow things up considerably. Also if the recipient does not have
PowerPoint or the PowerPoint viewer I don't believe they will be able to see
your presentation.

The link that David Marcovitz provided gives a lot of good information on
reducing the size of your presentation. I think the reason your sound file
are not coming through when you published to a web page is because of the
way the sound files were inserted. They need to be attached to an event for
them to work properly when publishing to a web page rather than inserting
sound from file.
