Hi James,
I Have Word (XP) document that is rather large because of a lot of
images. I thought there was a "shortcut" key stroke that would
"convert" the images and in turn reduce the overall file size. I'm
not having any luck finding it, does anyone here know of one?
The "shortcut" key stroke is similar to the Remove All Hyperlinks:
CTRL+A (Select All) then CTRL+SHIFT+F9 (remove hyperlinks)
I've never heard of anything like this for images. As far as I know,
the only way to reduce file size is to link in the images without
saving them in the document (IncludePicture field with the \d switch).

Maybe he meant:
Select the picture, right click, select Format and go to the Picture tab and
click on Compress? Works here.
