I use impress to build lectures for an on-line course I teach.
I then have to open them in Micro$oft powerpoint to add audio
narration to each file.
Then I feed them to Impatica for powerpoint
(http://www.impatica.com/imp4ppt/) to convert them to a web
presentation and upload them to the University's teaching site.
It is a really slick process even though I have to use powerpoint.
However, I screwed up with a couple of lectures and did not save the
presentation _without_ the narration. After I add the narration the
file is 48 Mb. Before adding the narration the file size was 4 Mb.
So the question is - does anyone know how I can strip the narration
from the file, saving only the slides ?
(BTW, for those who are interested, after Impatica processes the file,
the .jar file containing the presentation, including the narration, is
only 5 Mb)
I thought I would see what happened if I saved it as an Impress file
(.odp) - file size went down to 2 Mb - and the narration remained. I
wonder what Micro$haft put in the other 46Mb ?
The question remains about stripping the narration, but it is less
important now.
