Conclusion
In the last few years, there have been a spate of products that offer compression and optimization for PowerPoint presentation file formats. Many of these do an awesome job, making PowerPoint files more lean and compact, and easier to share. Now the next generation of these products does the same compression and optimization for many more file formats including the ones introduced in Microsoft Office 2007. Our review product, FILEminimizer Office is one of them.
FILEminimizer Office is from balesio, a Swiss company that also creates several other products such as TurboDemo and ALLCapture. You can download a free trial version of FILEminimizer from their site.
FILEminimizer Office works just like PPTminimizer, a program that has been reviewed in the past.
This new version now compresses all new Microsoft Office 2007 formats: .PPTX, .PPSX, .DOCX, .DOTX, .XLSX and older versions file formats also. The optimization
reduces all Office files to a smaller file size compared to their original sizes, without changing the file format
or altering the quality. These optimized files are also safer, and ideal for sharing and sending via email. Recipients don't need need any extra software to edit
or view the optimized files.
New features in this release include:
