Re: Large Word file sizes when image objects are copied from the clipb

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



Hi Mike

As a first cut, File > Properties. Make sure that "Save preview picture" is
*not* ticked.

If that does not solve the problem, then go through Suzanne Barnhill's list
of what causes unnecessarily large file sizes. You'll find the list here:

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I am experiencing a problem with Microsoft Office Word 2003. I am
currently
running Windows XP with SP2. When I go to take a screen capture in
Windows
(using ALT PRTSCN) and paste the image in Word 2003 (using CTRL V) my Word
document size is approximately 4 mb while other computers in our
organization
with the same versions (of the OS and Office) a similar document is only a
couple hundred kb.

Everything I read on-line states that pasting the image from the clipboard
into Word, Word inserts the image as an uncompresed BMP file. Why then
two
different computers running both the same OS (XP SP2) and version of
Office
(2003) come back with two file size results (4 mb vs. 200 kb - a large
difference of course)?

If anyone knows how to fix this issue or any additional information it
would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike
