Powerpoint (and I think other Office apps) has the ability to resize and crop
pictures.
people often paste screen captures or high res photos into powerpoint. This
makes the file size very large, and often means the presentation is too large
to make it through email servers. Powerpoint allows you to compress these
pictures, but, it does not compress pictures that have been grouped with
other objects.
There is no way to search for the largest objects in a PPT file, so
frequently I spend way too much time and effort trying to find groups,
ungroup them, compressing, checking file size to see if it helped, and doing
it again, and again...
Also ungrouping an animated object causes the animation to be lost. So I
ungroup it to try compressing (80% of the time with little difference) then
have to rebuild the group, and animate it (sometimes undo helps, but it's
still a pain).
Alternative fix: radio button that says "compress pictures inside groups"
