Update: This promo seems to be over now =(.

Balesio FILEminimizer Office is a software that aims to help compress and reduce file sizes of Microsoft Office files:

• .PPT/.PPTX
• .DOC/.DOCX
• .XLS/.XLSX

The great thing about FILEminimizer Office is you do not have to have Microsoft Office installed to use it. FILEminimizer is a completely standalone software; so if you create a .PPT/.DOC/.XLS format file with another software suite, such as Ashampoo Office ^[1] or OpenOffice, you can still use FILEminimizer Office with those files.

Here are the full features of FILEminimizer:

• Office compression for PowerPoint, Word and Excel by up to 98% – a 50MB document is compressed to 1MB in size
• Compresses PowerPoint 2007, Word 2007, Excel 2007 files – full optimization of PPTX, DOCX, XLSX files
• Compresses “old” PowerPoint 97 to 2003, Word 97 to 2003, Excel 97 to 2003 files – full optimization of PPT, DOC, XLS files
• Compresses pictures and embedded objects and reduces the size of Office files
• Keeps the original file format – simply edit, view and change it without the need to unzip
• Compresses StarOffice and OpenOffice files provided they are saved in a Microsoft format
• Compact edition runs directly from CD or USB flash drive – no installation required
• Integrated search function finds all optimizable files on the PC
• “Drag & Drop” files directly into FILEminimizer to optimize several files at once (batch processing)
• Add-ins for Microsoft Outlook, PowerPoint, Word, Excel and Windows Explorer
