Use Emphasis on Graphics

ANZ HEUG

Save Graphics as GIF, not BMP

GIFs are much smaller, and display just as nicely, as the BMP files – but are often MUCH smaller and compact (for example, the BMP of this screen shot was about 2.8 MB ( =2,800 KB) versus 35 KB for the GIF

ANZ HEUG

Save Graphics as GIF, not BMP

Other than some color variations, the files are equally legible on screen.

Importing Tables, etc.

Sometimes it may be better to reformat or recreate a true table directly in PowerPoint for readability
