SYMPTOMS
When you save a Microsoft PowerPoint 2001 for Mac presentation in Macintosh Picture (PICT) format, if you change the level of compression, you may not succeed in changing the size or quality of the saved files.



CAUSE
This behavior can be caused by the conversion to PICT format. Not all slides can be compressed by changing the image quality setting.



WORKAROUND
If you need to save slides in PICT format and want to reduce the size of the files, change the background to a single color instead of a gradient, texture, pattern, or picture.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
For more information about reducing the size of exported graphic files, click the Office Assistant, type export files too large, click Search, and then click a topic to view it.

NOTE: If the Assistant is hidden, click the Office Assistant button on the Standard toolbar.
