Hi,
There is also FILEminimizer Office, which gets the job done impressively!
www.balesio.com

There is a free version available on the site.

Thanks for your idea. My file went from 29MB to 8MB using the compression tool.

Went from a 7.21 to 3.56! Thanks! I had made a presentation that I thought was pointless because I couldn't email it!

FYI – The methods above only work for office 2002 and later. This link tells you a somewhat slower way that works in office 2000:

Basically, you “cut” or “copy” the big pictures, then Edit->Paste Special and paste them back as a JPG or PNG. Apparently, PowerPoint pastes them as bitmaps by default.
