PowerPoint 95 did not do very good file compression, so file sizes were much larger. After 95, the file compression was greatly improved and is what we are used to today. If your friend is using Office 97, you do not need to back save. All versions of PowerPoint from 97 on use the same file format. They can read each other's files, but newer features are not supported on earlier versions.
