MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2008Huge Powerpoint Presentation
I have a Powerpoint presentation that went from 4MB to 14MB by just deleting an image from each slide and adding a Master Slide. Why would it do that? If you have a version pre 2007 then check in Tools > Options > Save that "Allow Fast saves" is UNTICKED. If it was ticked kill it for ever and save again with a new name.

Why would it do that? This can have various reasons. One possiblity is that you have added a very large background image to your new masterslide? If that's the case, try optimising the picture first. Alternatively, if nothing heavy has been added try un-ticking "Allow Fast Saves" (in 2003: Tools-Options-Save Tab) and re-save the document. The 'Fast Saves' option will only save the changes on the document on top of what's already saved. Whereas, when it's unticked, the whole (now much lighter) document is saved as is.

Why would it do that? Yes i did and it styaed the same size. Then i saved it as a Webpage (something I read) and that was even bigger. I've compressed all of the pictures and still huge. > When you turned off Fast Saves, did you save it under a new file name? > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > > I have a Powerpoint presentation that went from 4MB to 14MB by just deleting > > > an image from each slide and adding a Master Slide.

Why would it do that? The pictures MAY be compressed the dialogue is a little confusing and defaults to 200 dpi even when the pictures are already 96. Did you close and reopen it?

I assume you got your "save as Webpage" information here HTML "Round-tripping" to repair corruption http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00526.htm When you saved your file as to html did you save it as an .mht file or an .html file?

Why would it do that? Just a thought...Ungrouped clipart (such as maps or anything with grading in the original i.e. 3d charts) can smash into a million bits when ungrouped and may add quite a bit to the filesize (although I haven't seen it go up THAT much). When you page down through your presentation, is a particular slide very sluggish? That would be the slide to look for something that may make it heavy. And something like that would not respond to 'Compress Pictures' because it's made up from shapes.
