PPT97: Larger File Size When Saved in Previous Format (157128)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q157128 SUMMARY
If you save a PowerPoint 97 presentation and then save it in PowerPoint
7.0, PowerPoint 4.0, or PowerPoint 3.0 presentation format, the
PowerPoint 97 version of the file is usually smaller than the other
version(s). Depending on the contents of the slides, the earlier format
version may require more than five times as much disk space as the PowerPoint
97 version.
MORE INFORMATION
Many of the drawing tools in PowerPoint 97 can produce graphic effects
that are not available in earlier versions of PowerPoint. When you save
a PowerPoint 97 presentation in an earlier version format, PowerPoint
converts the drawing objects into generic graphics objects. The generic
objects require more disk space than the equivalent PowerPoint 97
drawing object.
If your presentation contains a solid background and very few graphic
elements, the file size difference is much less than if it contains
a lot of PowerPoint drawing objects, especially those with 3D graphics
effects.
