Hi all

I have a problem with a empty presentation with two
modules and two userforms in it.

File size 50 kb

When I save it as a Add-in my size grow to 130 kb.
Everything is working correct but I wonder why it grow.

I have the same Add-in for Word and Excel and this files are 80 kb

Why is the file grow so much?
 
PowerPoint has always done this, unfortunately.
Every time you make any minor change and re-create the PPA, it gets bigger.

What you might want to do is live with it until the add-in is ready to
distribute.
Then create a new PPT file, add new modules, then copy/paste the code from
the old modules into the new ones and save the new presenation as PPT and
PPA.

What I've suggested will dump the trash that PPT accumulates into PPTs/PPAs
as you edit the VBA repeatedly.
As to the size difference between PPT/PPA, that's just a fact of life. I
don't know why PPAs should be larger than the PPT that spawned 'em, but they
always seem to be.

IOW, I'd shrug it off and find something you *can* control to worry about.

I do that Steve<g>

I add the Add-in to my website
http://www.rondebruin.nl/Google.htm
With Help from this Add-in I can learn how this program works

You are a busy man Steve, the Add-in tells me that you posted 9980 times the last two years

Thanks for your help

So for your next project, you'll need to teach the Add-in to count *useful*
