No matter how much my presentation changes in size (number and size of
images, etc.) the file size never decreases.  Is there a way to compact the
file when images are deleted?

Would be a great help, if you told us which version of PowerPoint your using,
and how you are saving your file

Sorry, it's PP 2000, saving to Powerpoint.  But the tip about Fast Save
solved it.  Thanks.

Go to Tools > Options > Save and turn off Fast Saves.  Now save your
presentation to a new file name.  Compare the size to the previous size.  Is it
considerably smaller??

If not, then see:

Why are my PowerPoint files so big? What can I do about it?

Thanks, turning off Fast Save did it.  Should have thought of checking
Options.
