Tips and tricks

We all found ways around certain problems and I thing we should share them.

I love pictures in my presentations, but a one hour presentation often exceeds 60 plus MB!
This causes considerable bandwidth problems. There are some official ways to reduce a PPT file, but still they are way too big. A neat way around the problem is to make it a PDF. A 100 side presentations with heaps of photos is less than 10 MB. But there is an additional problem; the slides are bigger than the space available in the virtual classroom. To get around this problem, I modify the PPT size in page set up to 20cm wide and 14.5 high. I print from this a PDF and there you have it! One more little thing, the slide needs to be centered in the VC, but this should not deter you if you can reduce the file size to less than 20%
