I īve been browsing about how to resize WS but...I īd like

One more question please!!! I īve been all day trying to upload an activity which had some pictures I had scanned with photoshop and filed as .jpg. At the beginning they were pretty big but after resizing them with microsoft picture manager and even compressing them a bit with word I finally could manage to make a two- page WS which I finally saved as Word 2007 (compatible mode). When trying to upload the doc there was a message only doc.doc.doc.doc. ws. so I went back to my Word and saved it not as word 2007 but Word Document and them Guess what... my nice and under 300kb Ws had turned into a 5,2Mb. Have you any explanation for that? What am I doing wrong? Pls help meeeee! Thanks a lot !!! |

Zailda your explanation is fantastic!!! It really shows you master the computer! So clear & practical! Thanks! I would like to add a tip more... lilianac, once you īve done what zailda suggests you could also select the picture & choose the "pencil" which sts the image in transparent colour. (It īs in PHOTO EDITOR). That way, whatever is white, becomes transparent & lighter. That īs the way I save my pictures & I can tell you it really works! Any doubt, do contact me!
lilianc, GOOD LUCK! ; zailda, THANKS A LOT!
Regards, Fabiola. :o) |

I would also suggest you use Free Photo Converter
IF you have SEVERAL pictures, you can RESIZE THEM IN 1 SECOND!
Free software to resize any pictures. It resizes hundreds of pictures in 1 click - just choose the folder with pics and resize... It īs fantastic and you can INSERT the resized pictures INTO MW WORD DOCUMENT then...
Info here : http://www.pixelapp.com/Free-Photo-Converter.htm
Download here: http://www.pixelapp.com/FPC_setup.exe
It saves a looot of time !!!!
I cannot help you with problems of Word 2007, I am using Word 2002.
I had heard about problems with changing DOCX to DOC. The size increases rapidly... :-(
Just one suggestion - if you work on the worksheet for some time, the information about all the changes are increasing the size. BEfore saving, open a new blank document and copy all to the new document and save it...
It usually saves a looot of space... :-D

Many thanks to you Moravc!!! You īve been very kind to help me with this. I had already done my homework because I read your advice on the subject before posting my message but although I had previously downloaded the Photo Converter it didn īt prove to be so useful to me with this problem. All the same, I could solve the problem and everything is OK!! I didn īt scan the pictures I looked for them on the web and everything worked better, tomorrow I will upload my worksheets. Well, ...I hope so!!! Thank you to you all nice people!! |
