[LM_NET] SHARE/HIT: Sending a Large File/Mounting a Powerpoint

["Ronda Y. Foust" <rfoust150@COMCAST.NET>]

Well, I hadn't planned on posting a "hit", but there were several  
responses mentioning options that might be of use to others on the  
list, so here goes.  Thanks again to all who responded!

Re Image Resizing and Sending Large Files

> You can send a large file to yourself by using YouSendIt - http:// 
> www.yousendit.com/
>
> which offers free accounts that allow you to send a 100 mb file.
>


> Go to http://www.winzip.com and download the evaluation (free)  
> version of the newest winzip file. It's very user friendly.
>>

> Do a search on the web for:  ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe
>
> This handy little MS PowerToy utility installs easily and when you  
> right
> click on an image, it gives you the option of saving the image in
> different sizes. It resizes the image you're working on and saves a  
> copy
> of it in the new size. It's also available on your XP disk if you
> install the PowerToys.
> It's available here as Image Resizer:
>
> http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/ 
> xppowertoys.mspx
>

> What about trying gmail?  You can have free storage with an email  
> account, so you could upload the powerpoint and send it using  
> google's servers.

> When I used a Mac, I believe the equivalent product for file  
> compression was Stuffit.


Re Powerpoint Options

> Try saving your powerpoint as a "PowerPoint Show." Choose File:  
> Save As,
> and then from the drop-down box at the bottom of the page, next to  
> "File
> As Type," choose "PowerPoint show."  It's about seventh down the list,
> at least in my version of powerpoint.  I was able to import it /  
> save my
> powerpoint show as a file to my webpage.  Then I added a picture  
> with a
> hyperlink to the file.  When my kids click on the picture, it launches
> the powerpoint.

> You can post a powerpoint to a web by converting it. Under edit,  
> save the file as a web page. Link this to your index.html (or other  
> page). Then when you send the pages by fetch (including the updated  
> index or other page you link to, you should be able to post.

> 1. save the powerpoint as a web page (not single file web page)
> 2. copy the file to my web page folder - on the computer or the server
> 3. I have a folder on my computer I do all of my editing on (and  
> keep a
> list of each file I modify) and then upload them to the web server
> 4. then create a link within my web site to the powerpoint file
> 5. you may find it easier to upload the file to the server and then
> create the link on the pages on the server so you know the link is to
> the correct file.
