I just saw this tip from Techknowl.com, a German firm Balesio offers a software called PPTminimizer that can shrink PPT (Micosoft Power Point ) and DOC ( Microsoft word 2003 ) documents to about 98% of their original size in the native extension (not zipped or archived). The quality of the converted file is almost same as the original file.
This seems to be a handy tool to compress very large presentations for web viewing, and for downloading to mobile phones and USB drives. Techknowl.com readers can get a free download from the site, subscription to Techknowl.com is free, check it out!
