Re: Big files

Thanks for the suggestion, John. Eventually I will save it as a pdf, but
while working on it (lengthy newsletter I am in process of editing) I would
like to keep it at a size that is manageable to email to others.
I just can't figure out why I can't get the "Compress Graphics" feature to
reveal itself.

My publication is 27MB and I would like to reduce its size. I can only
imagine it is the graphics taking up so much space.
==================================
Would converting the file to a .pdf be a possible
alternative? Maybe you could download and install
the following freebie and give it a try.

PrimoPDF
http://www.primopdf.com/
(if you only have a few files to convert...you can even
do it online)

With your new program installed...open your project
in Publisher and go to...File / Print.

On your Print screen...open the drop window and
select PrimoPDF as your printer.

Click...OK...now you will see the PrimoPDF screen
and you can browse to a save folder.

When you click...OK..your .pdf file will be created
in your save folder.

The resulting .pdf file can be viewed on any computer
that has the free Adobe Reader installed.
