This morning I forward as you suggested the presentation with 20
slides (4,55 mb) to someone who directly returned my 10 slides (11,6
mb). Result: those 20 slides were not returned.
Why are 20 slides only 4,55 mb and 10 slides 11,6 mb, while the
contents is equivalent.
Has Open Office a possibility to compress the presentation before
e-mailing it.
Moreover the presentation sent via a free server did not help.
The fact that a 4.55 MB attachment made it through, but not 11.6
indicates a mailbox size issue. As for the size of the files, that may
depend on the image type that's saved. OpenOffice can use any of
several different image file types. OpenOffice files are, by default,
zipped, so they are compressed. However many image file types are
already compressed and cannot be compressed further. Also, as I
mentioned in another note, you appeared to have sent the file again,
rather than just the link to the file. The point of using a server was
that instead of sending the file directly, you simply tell the recipient
where the file can be found and they then download it directly, without
going through email.
There is an OpenOffice.org extension that is being developed that might
be helpful in situations like this. It is called Presentation
Minimizer. It is not ready just yet, but watch the Extensions site
here: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/ When it is released (I
don't know any fixed date), you will find the installation info and
download links on the Extensions site.
