Controlling size when insert photos Word 2002
I'm printing a 2-page newsletter which is about 41 Kb. without photos. When
I insert two photos, sized 75 and 92 Kb. respectively, the file increases dramatically to 1.5 Mb. I've searched the archives but can find no answer to why the file increases so much or how I might decrease it. I have also tried linking to the photos. This works fine on my computer, and the file remains @ 42 Kb., except when I e-mail it I get only red X's instead of the photos. Can anyone suggest a solution to these problems, or steer me in the right direction? Many thanks..........Kim |

Hi Kim,
Word has made great progress in the past decade with storing graphics information in its file format. But generally it has problems with graphics compression, and if it can't handle the compression, stores the graphic as a bmp. I suspect that's what's happening, here. Since you don't mention what graphics format these photos are, it's difficult to make concrete suggestions. Also, you haven't posted to the best forum for this type of question; you'll tend to find people who know more about this in the word.Drawing.Graphics newsgroup. In a general way, I'd say trying saving the photos in a graphics program to a different file format and see if that makes any difference.

Hi Cindy -- thanks for your suggestion about a different file format. I had
saved the file, including the photos, in RTF format. That was the problem. When I saved it as a word.doc file, the size was reduced considerably. Thanks again for your response. Take care ....Kim "Cindy M -WordMVP-" wrote in message news:VA.0000b239.004126e4@speedy...
