Transcript Compressing Pictures with Microsoft Picture Manager

Compressing Pictures using Picture Manager
Taking pictures with a digital camera can create large files which means when
you place those files into a Microsoft Word document they make the Word
document difficult to manage because of its increased file size. You may want
to reduce the file size of your pictures so that they load faster on Web sites or
reduce the dimensions of your pictures so that they fit better in a browser
window.
You can change both file size and picture dimensions by compressing the files
to a smaller JPG format. Microsoft Office Picture Manager automatically
determines the amount of compression after you specify how you intend to
use the pictures e.g. in a document, on a web site or in an email message.
The aspect ratio of your pictures will always be maintained. If your picture is
already smaller than the compression option you have chosen, no resizing or
compression will be performed.
