Size smaller in XP then in 2000

[Carl Van Mol]

Hi,

I've got a strange problem: when I save a file in Office 2000, the file
becomes 3Mb. But when I open the same file in XP and I save it afterwards,
the filesize becomes 400Kb. What am I doing wrong in my Office
2000-environment?

Thanks in advance!
Carl

Why are my PowerPoint files so big? What can I do about it?

If you're saving as PowerPoint 2000 plus whatever plus 95, that'd do it.

Check to be sure that you don't have Fast Saves turned on. You'll find the
setting in Tools > Options > Save. Also, be certain that you are always
saving the file as Presentation(*.PPT).
