OS - Vista SP2, M/s Office 2003.
I have been trying to create a slideshow in .pps format, that I want to email, made up of of 8 photos. I have tried with automatic 'Transition' change, and with mouseclick change.
The photos are in jpeg format and individually total 1,117 KB. When made into the slideshow, the size becomes 11MB plus.
When I have attempted to send the slideshow, it has, after several minutes, been terminated (by the Server) according to the error message that appears.

I phoned my ISP support (Bigpond), and was told that my limit for sending emails is 10MB.
I have received an email today, with a 9 photo Powerpoint slideshow. It's size is according to the 'Attachment' box, is 788KB. How can this be Huh?

I have tried reduce the size of my photos, but I think I need some decent advice from this forum on how to do it properly.
Like a lot of members of this forum, I'm not a PC Guru, so clear and simple instructions would be very much appreciated.              Regards .....Tiggs
