MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / October 2007To big presentation?
I have (tried to) make a presentation in Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 with over 2000 slides (almost everyone with 1-3 jpg-pictures). When I add the last 500 slides, I get a red X all over the 1-200 last slides. Is there a limit for a PPT presentation? 2000 slides??? Umm, who is going to set through a presentation that is 2000 slides in length? (At 10 seconds a slide that is five and a half hours of non-stop viewing. WHEW!!!) There is no real limit to how many slides you can have but even the most powerful PC made would have problems with this. Have you tried compressing the images in PowerPoint? If not that is where I would start.

I can understand Your ???? about 2000 slides, but I have found PowerPoint very useful when I want to make a presentation of - in this case - an old art museum/art society. You can show paintings, photos, presscuttings, publications, movie-illustrations and listen to sountracks from speeches. And all the slides/parts are linked in a way that makes it easy to take You from one picture/part to another. Which means: You can buy this PPT/DVD and look at it in Your own computer. You don´t look att the 2000 slides from 1-2000. You look at the parts that You are interested in for the moment. I think PowerPoint is very useful because 1. You can make the ppt-show start automatically in the viewers computer. 2. The viewer can look at it even if he/she doesn´t have PowerPoint insalled in the computer. But I´m no expert - maybe there is a smarter way to do this? "Austin Myers" skrev: > 2000 slides??? Umm, who is going to set through a presentation that is 2000 > slides in length?

If this is what you are doing, I would recommend that you split the single presentation into a number of sub-presentations and create a menu presentation to lead people to the specific information they need. In addition to limiting the problems you are having now, it will eliminate a problem you don't know you have yet: With all the slides in one file, you are going to have major problems with your hyperlinks.
