my wife has done a presentation full of pictures all of which are near
enough 1mb each. How can I reduce the size of these so that it is not
so big?

Go into your image editing program and change the dimensions of the
picture to the resolution of your monitor, probably 1024 x 768 (don't
worry about being exact and keep the proportions of the original picture
the same so it is not distorted). Save it as a JPEG and insert it (not
copy and paste) into the file.
