Alot of my users insert large images into their powerpoint
presentation and then reduce the image size to 30%. The
space these files takes up on the network is huge.

Is there a tool available that will change the propertries
of the insterted image so it can no longer be enlarged
back to its original size therefore changing its
properties from 30% to 100% without changing the dimension
of the image itself?

Are you looking to re-size the image in powerpoint or trying to reduce the filesize of the powerpoint files?

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to accomplish here. On the other
hand there are tools to reduce the size of PPT files by optimizing the size of
images in the file.

Why are my PowerPoint files so big? What can I do about it?

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

Hello,

PowerPoint 2002 and PowerPoint 2003 provide an image optimization feature
(choose "Compress Picture" from the Picture toolbar).

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:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. 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.

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