StarOffice: Slide sorter slow

[Joel Hammer]

I just take a picture without resizing it with a
digital photomicroscope. This gives images in the 2-3 meg
range. Clearly more than I need, but, I don't know how to
reduce the size automatically. I have several users taking
pictures, and they want the easiest method possible. I
work for them, they don't work for me.

I then run powerpoint with a macro that imports all the
images into the presentation, without linking them. I
thought that would be safer then having them linked.

The sizes of the powerpoint presentatations have been as
big as 300 meg, but aside from loading slowly, they run
well in powerpoint. I import the powerpoint presentations
directly into SO/OO.

I will look into just linking the images in powerpoint,
then see if that will make SO/OO work more efficiently.
