PPT2000: Larger File Size When Saved in Previous Format (198342)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint 2000
This article was previously published under Q198342 SUMMARY
If you save a PowerPoint presentation and then save it in PowerPoint
7.0, or PowerPoint 4.0, format, the PowerPoint 2000 version of the file is
usually smaller than the earlier version(s). Depending on the contents of
the slides, the earlier format version may require up to five times as much
disk space as the PowerPoint 2000 version.
For example, a 150KB PowerPoint 2000 presentation becomes:
- 1,375KB when saved in PowerPoint 4 format
- 1,505KB when saved in PowerPoint 95 format
- 1,650KB when saved in PowerPoint 97, 2000 & 95 format
MORE INFORMATION
Many of the drawing tools in PowerPoint can produce graphic effects and
compression schemes that are not available in earlier versions of
PowerPoint. When you save a PowerPoint 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 2000 drawing object.
If your presentation contains a solid background and very few graphic
elements, the difference in file size is much smaller than if the
presentation contains many PowerPoint drawing objects, especially objects
with 3D graphics effects.
