Re: Image Compression

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello William,

I sometimes use GraphicConverter (externally from Word) to reduce the file
size before I put an image into Word. If the image is in iPhoto (which
could be a scan that I've done), I e-mail it to myself via the Share ->
Email menu, which gives options for file size (might sound crazy, but this
is the quickest).

If you have a Word document with lots of images, you can keep the file size
right down by inserting a link to the image, but not the image (though the
image is visible in the Word document) -- see "Reduce the size of a file by
linking instead of inserting graphics" in Word's 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?
