I have a presentation of approx 250MB.  My computer has 1G of Ram.  I was
told that if I change my presentation to a write only format it would open
much quicker.
If I do that, how do I change it back so I can edit it?

Has anyone else had trouble with graphics and charts when sending PPT
files from Mac to PC? My presentations often look fine on the Mac, but
when I send them to PC users (using XP or 2000), they get big red X
boxes, or text to the effect that the images are unsupported QuickTime

Greetings all - It's been a while since I've posted here - I was
running PPT '98 on OS 9 for the longest time, but in the last month
we've finally upgraded to OS X (yay!!!) and have gone straight to PPT

Hi --
I currently have a client who needs .ppt for use on his PC as opposed to
the PDFs that we've been sending prior to presentation.  There have been a
couple of errors in the translation:

Does anyone know if there is a way to insert multiple pictures into

I update and make fine tune adjustments to my large PPT presentation
very frequently. (It now is in PPT 2004 for Mac.) I save the same PPT
program a lot. There are over 150 JPEG photo images in the program.
Does saving PPT files frequently as I do have any impact on the image

I had hoped to be able to edit Powerpoint files on both
the Mac and PC.
The slidesorter redraws the screen wery rapidly in the
Windows version.

I have a 200 slide PPT presentation - 55 megabyte total with at least
150 JPG images. (bird and nature photos.)  When I used PPT 2002 for PC,
I divided the one large file into three separate files and connected
them during my presentation with hyperlinks.  I just converted these

I have developed and archived a number of Powerpoint lectures, in which
I have mindlessly inserted images that are VERY high resolution (and

I have encountered something with PowerPoint for Mac 2004 recently that is
so odd, I felt certain that it would be all over the Microsoft Support Site,
or at least noted in the newsgroup. (It probably is, and my skimming through

I have added several comments on a slide using PowerPoint 2003, and I

actual comment text does not get printed).
