I am trying to save a 12 slide presentation to disk. I get a message that there is not enough space on disk to complete. It is a new disk. I have tried 2 others. Any suggestions?
 
First things first - NEVER save a PowerPoint file directly to a disk! You
are just asking for file corruption. With that said, you need to save your
file to your hard drive (someplace like My Documents), then open up Windows
Explorer, browse to your folder, click the "View" menu and select "Details".
To the right will be the file size of your PowerPoint presentation. If it
is greater than about 1,400 KB (1.4 MB), it won't fit on a floppy. And if
it is greater than that size, and the file only has 12 slides, you must have
copied and pasted your pictures onto the slides, which is also a bad thing
to do.

Holler back with the file size, number of images, and how you put them on
your slides, and I (or someone else) will respond back with some hints.

And turn off Fast Saves! That is probably part of the problem in the file
size. For more information on how to set up your PowerPoint correctly, read

Save to your harddrive, then copy to the floppy disk.
