You can compress a PowerPoint file using the built-in "Compressed (zipped) folder" option in Windows. Here's how:
Steps to Compress a PowerPoint File in Windows:
- Locate the PowerPoint file: Find the PowerPoint (.pptx or .ppt) file you want to compress on your computer.
- Right-click the file: Right-click on the PowerPoint file. A context menu will appear.
- Select "Send to": In the context menu, hover your mouse over the "Send to" option. This will open a sub-menu.
- Choose "Compressed (zipped) folder": In the "Send to" sub-menu, click on "Compressed (zipped) folder."
- A new zipped folder is created: Windows will create a new .zip file in the same location as your original PowerPoint file. This .zip file contains a compressed version of your PowerPoint presentation. The new file will have the same name as your PowerPoint file, but with a ".zip" extension.
This method effectively reduces the file size, making it easier to email or share the PowerPoint presentation.
