trying to make powerpoint show (2003) of my own photographs. is there an
optimum size and/or resolution to save the pictures in so that they still
look good, but are not too large so they won't overburden powerpoint and
crash.
 
Resolution or DPI aren't relevant when displaying an image on a monitor.
The best thing is to size copies of the photos to about 1024 X 768 pixels
for PowerPoint. Keep the originals for printing purposes or future use.

For an in depth story on resolution, see the following:

What's the best resolution for images in PowerPoint screen shows?

What's all this about DPI and INCHES and RESOLUTION?

[CRITICAL UPDATE - Anyone using Office 2003 should install the critical
update as soon as possible. From PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for

[TOP ISSUE - Are you having difficulty opening presentations in PPT 2003
that you just created in PPT 2003? -

Hello,

PowerPoint 2002 and PowerPoint 2003 provide an image optimization feature
(choose "Compress Picture" from the Picture toolbar) so you could simply
insert your images at whatever size they are originally, position and scale
them as desired within your slides and when you are done you can simply use
the Compress Picture tool to optimize the images in your presentation for
"Web/Screen" viewing.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that PowerPoint should
provide better content management tools for finding, changing, replacing,
deleting, OPTIMIZING, etc. linked, embedded, and native content (without
have to resort to VBA or 3rd party add-ins), don't forget to send your
feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
