![]() ![]() Select the image in the Word document.Resize the image using picture compression You can see that the original size ( 1 in the screen shot) is some 80 x 60 cm - BIG! - and that it’s been rescaled by Word to some 26% of its original size ( 2), which equates to dimensions of some 21 x 16 cm ( 3). Here are the details of the photo I inserted into Doc2. You can check the original file size by right-clicking on the image, then selecting Size (if you don’t see Size listed, select Format Picture instead, then the Size tab). When I inserted the picture into Doc2, Word automatically resized it to fit nicely within the page margins. As you can see from the screen shot below, adding a 1253 KB object to a 13 KB file took the total file size for Doc2 to 1267 KB (approximately the total of the two separate objects). I then inserted a 1253 KB photo I took some years ago in Sequoia National Park, California, to Doc2. ![]() I created two empty Word 2007 documents - by default, an empty Word document is 13 KB in size (see Doc1). I did some testing to show you how the image size can affect the size of the Word document, so let’s start there. Of course, a better solution is to use a graphics editor to reduce the image size BEFORE you bring it into Word, but this may not be an option that everyone has access to. In this blog post, I’ll show you how to reduce the size of large images in Word, without losing the quality of those images or the readability of any text on them. take up excess space on a server/computer, in Inboxes etc. ![]()
