Slide resolution in PP 2003 slide shows

[Klaus]

I am wondering if there is any advantage or disadvantage to putting high
resolution slides into a PP show. I know a computer screen only shows 72 dpi
and a projector will show a little more. Any other considerations?

Large file size will adversely affect effects in some machines.

Full page print-out resolution is the only benefit to storing higher
resolution pictures. Even then, anything over 200 dpi is a waste of memory.

High resolution pictures will make your file size become BIG! For PPT 2003 a
size of 1500x1130 Pixel at a resolution of 150 dpi will fill a slide and
produce fairly good print quality for handouts. I prefer PNG files over JPG
because they have lossless compression and PowerPoint uses this format
internally, AFAIK.

If you don't want to reduce the file size of your pictures in a picture
editing program, you can also use the Compress Picture button in PowerPoint.

Kind regards,
Ute

It's all about pixels and not dpi.

What's all this about DPI and INCHES and RESOLUTION?
