I had the same issue and could not believe there was a easy way of correcting
this.
Well there seems to be a easy way after all.
Click on your picture after it is sized the way you want it.
Make sure you have nothing grouped with it.
Cut the picture.
Paste special (Edit Past special)
Choose the format you want to paste it as. (I use PNG)
JPG compresses more but leaves a border I do not want.
You pictures are now the size you wanted
Do all the pictures and watch your file size go down.

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.
