Template makes individual files huge

[tompen78]

Hi,


we recently had a new template (pot file) introduced to us. When I use ot to create a very simple oneslider with just a few bullets on an empty slide (I remove all the template slides with fancy images), the file size of the individual ppt file still becomes really large. Does the individual ppt slide necessarily need to keep the images from the originating pot file and that is why it becomes so large? Is there a way to avoid this? I.e saving it in a way that strips these (mostly unused) fancy image slides off?

Many thanks for any input!
