hi everyone,
i have one strange problem, when i was working on one word document which
has 97 images. all images were small and file size of the document was 7.8
mb. i started editing the document and made few changes, filesize jumped to
40.1mb. i tried to compress all the images useing picture properity, but
that didn't help. i saved the whole document as webpage and 55 images are
500kb to 600kb and other images are 3kb to 20k max. all images are same size
but somehow some images has huge file size and some has samll. i even try to
copy all content and paste in new document but file size remain same.

i don't understand what should i do to decrease file.
let me know anyone as any suggestion.

Turn off Fast Saves, as that will add incremental changes to your document -
and with so many images, many new copies of each image will be saved
internally.
 
There are a number of reasons for excessive file size, including:

1. Fast Saves: Disable this at on the Save tab of Tools | Options.

2. Preview Picture: Clear the check box on the Summary tab of File |
Properties.

3. Versions (File | Versions): Make sure "Automatically save version on
close" is not turned on.

4. Revisions (Tools | Track Changes):
Highlight Changes: Make sure "Highlight changes on screen" is turned on.
Accept/Reject Changes: If "Accept All" or "Reject All" is available then
revisions are present; accept or reject all changes, then turn Track Changes
off.

5. Embedded True Type fonts (Tools | Options | Save); embedding fonts should
be avoided wherever possible.

6. Embedded graphics: When feasible, it is preferable to link the graphics.

7. Document corruption: See

Hi,

Thanks for reply

I allready check all that you mentation.

Is there is way I can change all images size using some sort of macro or
some tools.

Is there is some place you can see in your document that: what is file size
of all images in documents?

The best solution is to use a graphics editor to shrink the
graphics to the size that you want, then import the smaller
pictures. Resizing in word does not reduce the byte-count size
of the graphic, just its appearance on screen and when printed.
