SUMMARY
=======
 
When you save a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation as a Scrapbook file, the
maximum size allowed by the System 7 Scrapbook is 16 megabytes (MB). Files
larger than 16 MB cannot be saved as a single Scrapbook file.
 
NOTE: The size of a presentation in Scrapbook file format is often much
larger than its size in a PowerPoint format. The size increases because
shaded fills need to be rendered in a way that can be imported into other
programs.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
Images saved in the Scrapbook file format are saved as separate resources
into the resource fork of the file. The total size for those resources
cannot exceed 16 MB. This limit applies regardless of the number of
resources in the file.
 
For example, under System 7.1, the sample Greates2.ppt file increases
in size as follows:
 
PowerPoint 3.0:                    PowerPoint 4.0:
 
  GREATES2.PPT  237 KB                GREATES2.PPT  272 KB
  GREATES2.SCR  858 KB                GREATES2.SCR 1000 KB
