Save the document as a Web Page and the picture will be placed in a
subfolder bearing the filename of the document in the folder into which you save the document. -- Hope this helps.

Hi William,
First, reset the picture scaling to 100% in Word (Format|Picture|Size). Next, if necessary, change the paper size to a size that whole picture fits on. Finally, Save the document as a Web Page. The picture will be given a name like 'image001.jpg' and will now be in a sub-folder with a name based on the name of the document (eg if the document was named MyFile.doc, the folder will be named MyFile_files), in the folder in which the document was saved. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "William Bernat" wrote in message ...

There are also settings in Word's options that will help. See

Why are you pasting the picture into Word in the first place? Just
placing the image in Word can cause damage and the act of saving the image using the web page option will create a jpg even if the original image was not jpg (note that the compression model used when creating a jpg is applied EVERY time it is saved and that compression causes a loss of image quality that progresses with every save). To preserve image quality you would be better served saving the image in the native format of your image editor, modifying the image there, saving a copy for your document, and then inserting the document version of the image.

No, jpg compression is progressive. Try it out, each time you save the
image it is compressed again. That's why I suggested saving it in a native format and exporting as jpg. Also, Word will damage the image any time it resizes, but I'm not sure if the damage (which is visually apparent, often as "fuzziness") is applied to the image permanently so that an exported image (via save as web page) would degrade or be kept in its original state. Does anyone know? I guess I'll have to experiment right now! On Jul 10, 1:16*pm, Jean-Guy Marcil wrote: "Reitanos" wrote: Why are you pasting the picture into Word in the first place?

In a very smart move, Word keeps the original image and a version that
represents any changes that you've applied, so saving a document with a single image will generate a web page with 2 images. If I had thought about this I would have realized that this is necessary to allow the reset command to work with an image, duh. Nice job MS. But, my original suggestion to do your image editing in an image editor is still your best bet; not only do you have better tools, but having a high resolution version of an image hiding inside a document that only needs a small version creates a great deal of document bloat. Also, the resizing algorithms of image editors are much more precise than the one in Word. On Jul 10, 1:44*pm, Reitanos wrote: No, jpg compression is progressive.

Then I ran code that opened the document, wrote a short paragraph to the end of the document and closed/saved it. I put that code in a loop to run 250 times. I did not see any loss in quality, even when zooming in at 500% Then I tried again with a colorful jpg image. Same result. So, I am not sure I understand what you are trying to explain regarding the progressive loss of quality in images when saving a document. Would I need to save it a 1,000 times to see that effect? In that case, it is not such a big deal... |

Hi Reitanos,
Just placing the image in Word can cause damage and the act of saving the image using the web page option will create a jpg even if the original image was not jpg (note that the compression model used when creating a jpg is applied EVERY time it is saved and that compression causes a loss of image quality that progresses with every save). That's not true. Whilst re-saving a modified jpeg degrades it, any decent graphics program will test whether the image has been changed (eg edited or a different compression ratio) before re-writing it. Images embedded in Word are not re-written in this way (unless they're opened for editing) - even when the scaling or the brightness/contrast is changed. All that Word does is to modify the way the embedded image is displayed. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] |

Sounds like save as HTML is the only way (if high resolution source not
available elsewhere). Thanks for the feedback all! -billb "William Bernat" wrote in message ... ENVIRONMENT Word 2007 SP1. Windows XP SP2. SCENARIO I paste a high resolution picture into Word.

Actually, I think a couple of you misunderstood what I stated after my
experiment; Word keeps the original (albeit in png or jpg format) so that it can track the changes to create a new image. In other words, no matter how many modifications to an image you make, Word does not have cumulative damage after the first save. And back to the original questioner, the Save as Webpage option will work, but using an image editor to resize the image will give you the best results (Photoshop or The Gimp have much better tools for manipulating your images) and will allow you to save in a format other than jpg if you have a quality image to start with.
