E-mail too large

[Getback]

How do I stop an e-mail from sending in Outlook? I sent one way to large and should have zipped it.

In OUTLOOK in the OUTBOX it should be there.  Open the OUTBOX and delete the mail and your good to go/

Okay, I had to shut down outlook and then re-open to delete. I compressed it with winrar and resent. It is now taking a long time again. It's 37mb after compression. It's a Power Point presentation with music. What can I do to compress it even further?

Okay, I read where I should change PowerPoint to PPS instead of PPT. Then put it on a website and send a link. How do I do that and what website? It's not finished and I wanted some feedback from a friend.

Can it be hosted on photobucket?

I don't think you can get that file any smaller.  Just upload the file to a file hosting site and e-mail the link.  I use MediaFire because you don't have to have an account:

Just click Upload File.

power point has a compression utility in it, you can compress each picture invidually as you go.
You can break up your volumes with winrar to email size and send 1 volume in each email, once at destination to open the person will need all volumes to open. It does work I have done it many years ago.(
There is a program called fileminmizer that will also compress MS office ppt files, does really nice job, it is a pay for program, there is a free trial. I have compressed ppt files as much as 85 to 90 percent with hardly any loss in quality of the pictures.I bought it about a year ago , they had a special for 12.95..I see now its 44.00(expensive)
http://www.balesio.com/fileminimizer/eng/index.php    theres the site if you have any interest.

Personally I would just break it into volumes with winrar and email it( winrar should still be able to do it, i havn't done it in years.)

Cattb,

How do I include music with it. Do I send those in a separate file?

Did you save the sound in wav format? This is a typical mistake leading to huge filesizes. By using mp3 you may cut 80% or more from your size.

Yes, saved in wav format. Will PowerPoint work with mp3?

out of curiousity just tried it and yes PPT will take MP3 from the sound tab, 2007 ppt will anyway.
Sound and video dosn't compress as well as just pictures.
Years ago my brother and I would use Winrar  and break the files to volumes then send 1 volume at a time in email, if we had to large of a file to send.
The destination end needs suitable software to unpack the volumes.(needs to recognize the format and unpack the files.)
Hope this helps

That's a great idea on breaking it into volumes.

Well then your problem is solved, use LAME or other encoder to compress the sound. Sound and video do not compress using regular file compressors.

I'm 100% certain your PPT file consists of 95% wav file that can be compressed to a fraction of the size without significant loss of quality.
