Impatica for PowerPoint is a
licensed program that simply converts the PowerPoint file into a
compressed format that is optimized (compressed for greatest quality
but least amount of download time required) for streaming over the
Internet (The registration information for Impatica is located in the Online
Operational Manual). Impatica file is typically 95% smaller
than the PowerPoint HTML files.
Before you Impaticize your
presentation, you want to make sure it is saved with the correct
settings.
For PowerPoint 2003:
First go to File > Page setup, in the top left menu bar. The
dimensions of your presentation should be set to 7 in. wide by 5.25 in.
tall in order to be viewed on computers running different resolutions.
Also make sure all images, sounds and other media in your presentation
are embedded in it and not linked to. The way to do this is to go to
Tools > Options and under the 'General' tab set 'Link sounds
with file sizes greater than' to the max of 50000kb. Now save the
presentation and you're ready to Impaticize.
For PowerPoint 2007:
First click on the Design tab, then Page Setup, and make sure the
dimensions of your presentation are set to 7 in. wide by 5.25 in tall.
Also, make sure all images, sounds, and other media in your
presentation are embedded in it and not linked to. To do this, click on
the Office Button > Powerpoint Options > Advanced
