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

I was just looking at media fire 200 MB free, no signup required thats not bad. Cattb

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.
-
A good thing to remember that email only uses 128 bit character set - so emailing any binary information generates an email size that is roughly 1 and a half to twice the size you think it is when you send it, too.

I've heard "LAME" mentioned in other articles. What is it?
-
http://lame.sourceforge.net/about.php
its a type of encoding and there are other MP3 formats,
I was looking at winrar, thers a setting for 9.4 MB volumes. Also I think you can type in the size you want.
I am not sure if there is a standard limit size or protocol within the networks of email size. I think keeping under 10MB would work.
If you use winrar and type the size in remember the size your typing is in bytes ,theres instructions , I think 9mb is 9000000 million bytes

9 megabytes is 9437184 bytes.

Thanks Cattb! I tried to load mp3 into the presentation sound file and it just won't do it for Office 2003. I may go with breaking it into volumes or putting it on media fire.
-
Come on! If you don't compress the sound and split it to several volumes that's just retarded!
Who wants to download and unrar 10 pieces and 35Mb just because your audio is a 34Mb wav? Compress the sound to a 1.3mb mp3, please.
-
he said hes using 2003 office and it won't intergrate the MP3 in the ppt file.He tried. 35 MB isn't much these days anyhow with dsl or cable modem...dial up well thats diffrent

I'm pretty sure the freely downloadable openoffice.org will let you include the mp3.

Well, I'm with you on the breaking it down into several volumes. Trust me I'm thinking of the end user as well. It's been a learning experience for sure. I just found cdex, a program that makes PowerPoint think that a Mp3 file is a WAV file. That should help enormously.

To Getback or anyone else,
if you goto this site http://www.giveawayoftheday.com there is a free software program for compressing PPT files,I don't know if it supports 2003 but I know it supports 2007. The software works very good at compressing PPT files. I know this software works with windows 32 bit XP.. 64 bit I am not sure.
This software can compress PPT files as much as 90 percent
this software will be free untill Midnight pacific time, no virus or trojans, the websight gives away a different software program everyday.

I gotta ask. Why would you go to all this trouble when you can post the file and then e-mail the link?
-
Use something like drop box to host the file for you.
set up an account add the file to your public folder and send the link to who ever needs access to the file.
Most email servers will reject anything over 10mb, what type of person are you trying to send this to, Company, friend , collage?

Mostly learning, but what you said is what I plan to do.
Unfortunately, It's not complete. What I have so far is in mho pretty good. Mostly because of the intro and what I think is a great song. Also, I had to rip some stuff off the forums. Sorry guys.
I do have a question. I'm thinking about adding a film to the latter parts of the presentation. Can you post a slide show and have the film work?
-
in 2007 ppt yes, can be set to auto play or need to click
put the movie in 1 of the slides

I mean post on the internet and have the slide work?
-
I may have got the question wrong, but if the PowerPoint works on your end, then yes, you can post it and e-mail the link to someone. Then they can just download it.

i made a presentation for school, i put a movie in one of the slides , i had it set for auto, once the slide show went to that slide it played automatically, i use 2007. I don't know about 2003.I am not sure about intergrating PPT into a web page, google; ppt and web page or ppt and html see what you come up with. I do think some of utube stuff is ppt, I know alot of it is FLV.
sorry can't help ya

YouTube consists of videos converted to a format to play through their Flash Player.
Look into Google Docs; it has a PowerPoint-esque piece, though I don't know if it supports multimedia.
