e-mailing a presentation

[Jorge]

I have made a slide show presentation larger than 16MB (mostly photos). It
is too big for any of the e-mail services I have. Simply zipping it does not
work. How do I reduce the size of this file without removing pictures?

Jorge,
First read this:

Then, either use a program to minimize the size of the PowerPoint:

Or use a service like you send it, which allows you to send large files:

Jorge,
If your photos are in jpg format, they cannot be compressed anymore, since
jpg is already a compressed format for images.

Agreed. However when using some tool to convert PowerPoint to other
format such as a flash, the file size would be reduced. I once had a 41
MB file reduced to 1.2 MB, so you can't say it's impossible
