    In 2007, you have to click File - Save As and then look all the way to the bottom on the left-hand side and you should see Tools with a drop-down arrow. And I found it only compressed my file from 420kb to 400kb.

    hmmm, I didn't find the "tools" drop down menu in ppt 2007. Instead, by selecting a picture, I got the format tab at the top. Then to the far left a "compress picture" button. This brought up a dialog box that followed along with step 6 on in the above instructions.

    PowerPoint 2000 didn't have a "Compress Pictures" option on the Save As->Tools menu.

    FYI - The methods above only work for office 2002 and later. This link tells you a somewhat slower way that works in office 2000:

    Basically, you "cut" or "copy" the big pictures, then Edit->Paste Special and paste them back as a JPG or PNG. Apparently, PowerPoint pastes them as bitmaps by default.
