Downsample all images in a PowerPoint Presentation
Is it possible by script, plugin or otherwise to take a PowerPoint Presentation (PPT) and resize and downsample all images within, they will only be used on screen so 72dpi will be fine and they only need to be the a sensible size for say 1280x1024.
We are finding Teachers tend to have very large files, which they want uploaded to the VLE, one Art Presentation has 100+ 7mb images, which need only be 50K each.

We have found the "Compress..." dialog box in Office 2003 where you said it would be (both "Save As..." and "Format Picture...".
Thank you for your help
