MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / November 2006Can a pps file be zipped to reduce it's size?
I have a 5 MB file and even zipped it is still 5 MB. Prefer to attach it in an email as PPS, not PPT file type. PowerPoint does a lot of its own compression. That is probably why the file size is not reduced much by zipping. There is no difference in the file as a PPS or PPT. The files are the same. The different extension tells PowerPoint to open it as a show. You might want to check out this information about reducing file sizes in PowerPoint: Why are my PowerPoint files so big? What can I do about it? http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00062.htm You might also look into the free PFC Express at: http;//www.pfcmedia.com/ It will help you email large files. --David  SignatureDavid M.
