Minimize Word, Excel and PowerPoint File Size By FILE minimizer Office (PPTminimizer)

Many people may heard of PPTminimizer before, which is an optimization utility to compress and reduce the size of the Microsoft Office PowerPoint presentations and Word documents file format. PPTminimizer is now been renamed and renewed as FILEminimizer Office, currently at version 5.0 with added features and functionality.
FILEminimizer Office compresses PowerPoint, Word and Excel files and reduces the file size by up to 98% using an intelligent office file compression software technique which compresses pictures and embedded objects while still preserving the original file format and quality. The advantage of FILEminimizer Office is that the much smaller optimized office files remain in the original format. Which mean a PowerPoint .PPT file remains in .PPT format. The files are not zipped or compressed as archive, which requires user to unzip or extract when opening.
