power-point training - Inserting pictures

Hi Carol

Thanks for your question.

A .gif file will generally be a smaller file size than a .jpg however the quality of a .gif image may not be as good as a .jpg depending on the particular image in question.

What you can do to help reduce the overall size of a PowerPoint file that contains a lot of images is to use the 'Compress Picture' button on the Picture toolbar - if you click on this button this then gives you the option to compress all the images in a presentation and reduces the overall PowerPoint file size.

I hope this helps.
