561567 2007-06-22 01:59:00 I have a large Word document which includes many photos (up to 2MB each). Is there any software or other means of reducing the size (pixels) of the photos within Word? bpt2 (6653)
561568 2007-06-22 03:17:00 The only way I know of is to save the photos to your hard drive, use IrfanView to convert them then paste them back into Word again. FoxyMX (5)

Or any other picture manipulating software I.E. Photoshop,
Paintshop pro etc etc etc ,

561574 2007-06-22 05:12:00 You don't open the word doc in IrfanView you open the image file and adjust it then import that back into word in it's reduced size. IrFranView is only for images not for documents. winmacguy (3367)
561575 2007-06-22 05:28:00 The jpeg photos were inserted into a document which is now far too large to include as a download form a website. The compress feature in Format picture does not seem to do much. I was just hoping that there might be a way of fixing the photos in Word rather than reducing the originals and swapping them. bpt2 (6653)
561576 2007-06-22 05:46:00 No there isn't. What you need to do is to "save the images for web" in IrfanView to get them to the right size and possibly export the doc as a PDF which will reduce the size much further. The images only need a resolution of 72dpi for web use. Or use Photoshop Elements if you have it. winmacguy (3367)
