Re: Image Compression

The work around is to copy your image from word to preview or PowerPoint
and save it there as JPG or PNG. You can download Gimp http://www.gimp.org/
for free which will give you better controlling of compression.

Or if you have the original images (images files before inserted to Word)
then better to start with these rather then copy and paste it from word- you
will lost less details.
Simply open that images files in Gimp or preview and save as jpg or png.

For future
From the view of workflow I usualy first resample the source images in any
picture editing application such as gimp to final dimesions and save in some
suitable file format taking into account image quality and size (in your
case i recommed you jpg to rapidly reduce the size) and afterwards I
instert them to the word. This gives me control about the image
size/quality.
You can try it in Gimp yourself - when saving as jpg you are given the
ooption about quality you want to achieve- the higher you will choose the
higher file size will be.

Hope this will help

In Microsoft Office for PC, when you insert an image into a Word file,
you can compress it. You double click on the image, go to the Picture
tab, and then click on the Compress button. However, this is not an
option in Word 2004 for Mac OS/X. Does anybody know how to compress
images in a word file in the Mac version of Word?
