Compressing+Graphics

=Compressing Graphics= When inserting graphics in a Word or Power Point document, especially if they are digital photographs, you should consider compressing the graphic(s) to reduce the total file size of the document. When doing so, your document takes up less space in your directory and will also be a better size to email or add to your website. //To compress a picture, follow these directions:// 1. Click on any picture in your document. 2. On the **Picture** toolbar, click the **Compress Pictures** button. (You'll notice it looks like four arrows pushing in on (compressing) a picture.) I//n the **Compress Pictures** dialog box, you are presented with options for the way the picture(s) will be compressed.// 3. If there is more than one picture in your document, click the radio button next to **All pictures** **in document** in the //Apply to// section of the Compress Pictures dialog box. 4. In the //Change Resolution// section, you can choose **Print** if you plan to print the document. 5. In the //Options// section, make sure **Compress Pictures** is checked as well as **Delete cropped areas of pictures**. 6. Click OK when done.
