Compress Picture in MS Office 2007 PowerPoint

[HD]

In MS Office 2003, I have the ability to compress a picture in PowerPt by
selecting the picture, right clicking and then selecting compress.

MS Office 2007 does not seem to have the ability to compress - or at least I
can't find it. I have a huge presentation (227MB) which is mostly Photos. I
am trying to minimize the size of the file.

If anyone knows how to compress or if there is another way in MS Office
2007, please let me know.

Thank you.
