Hi. I would like to know which products can do the following with
Powerpoint...

a) Compress slides to a small fraction of original size

b) Compress audio at a good rate easily

c) Viewers of the content are not able to edit the content



Thank you for your help.

As you have discovered, there are 3rd party applications that extend PPTs
capabilities and there are a number of choices for many of your needs. Here
are a few I can think of, I am certain others will help fill in with ones I
overlook:

Compression:
- PPTools Optimizer (http://www.rdpslides.com/pptools/FAQ00013.htm)
- Nxpowerlite
- PPT 2002/2003 does offer a compression feature

Audio:
- Almost all audio is an external linked file (if it a .wav embedded, export
to HTML to extract) and I create a batch optimize routine using Sound Forge
(Goldwave is an excellent shareware/free audio editor that can also do the
same). The I reimport all audio files.

Viewers:
- There are several options to create .exe files of your presentation that
are basically your presentation packaged with the 2003 Viewer. PPT 2003 does
have a version of this capability built into its 'Package for CD' feature.
Also look into SecurePack (http://www.mvps.org/skp/securepack/)
- Articulate does an incredible job of converting to Flash AND retaining all
animations, able to embed multimedia files, etc.
