I am trying to reduce the size of a Word document(Windows XP Pro, Office XP
Pro, Word 2002,SP3) which includes inserted pictures. However after going
through the process of compressing the pictures (Format
PicturePictureCompress...), the size of the document does not change at
all, as if nothing happened. Any help would be appreciated.
