Compress the Picture
The
Adjustment group has a useful tool for reducing the size of your
pictures. There are times when you need to make a document smaller
so that it can be easily shared on the Internet or via E-mail.
1. Try it: Compress the Picture
Go to Picture Tools -> Format.
Go to Adjust -> Compress Pictures.
2. What Do You See?
Microsoft Word prompts you to choose whether this image should be
reduced to 150 ppi, which is good for web pages, or 96 ppi, which is
smaller for E-mail.
You can
choose to compress just the picture you selected (checked) or all of the
pictures in this document (unchecked). The cropped areas can be permanently deleted to make the images smaller as well.
