5. Product Description

"Microsoft® Office® PowerPoint® presentations can be very large and sometimes difficult to share across networks, through email, and on the internet. The function of the PowerPressed AddIn is to compress the size of presentations so that they are portable while still maintaining the PowerPoint file format. Many options have been added to allow users to find their own balance of what 'fit for purpose' and portable means to them.

• Compresses the size of presentations so that they are portable while still maintaining the PowerPoint file format and functionality.
  
  
• Easy To Use: Intuitive User Interface can make any user feel like they have more control over their data.
  
  
• Retains the original presentation file untouched by making all compression changes to a copy of the presentation.
  
  
• Can help to accelerate a user's transfer of email and web site downloads. Can also help with a company's internal network traffic and file transfer limitations.
  
  
• Doesnot require the user to have expert knowledge of the different types of images they are importing into their presentations.
  
  
• Many customizable options have been added to allow users to find their own custom balance between compression and quality."
