GIFF pictures in Word are heavier??? How to resize?
 
Dear friends,
I have a strange problem: small giffs inserted to a table in Word became extremely heavy!
I used 15 giffs (15 kB-30 kB), but the Word document is suddenly 2,6 MB.

I have tried to format picture - compress - web-96dpi.
I have tried software NXPower.

What am I doing wrong? (Word 2002)
Is my Word ok? Is it normal - after inserting a picture, the document size grows rapidly? How can it be - 200kB pictures after inserting 2MB document???

Please help me, I have been trying to solve it for 2 hours... nothing helps...

I have just tried one last thing:
I copied all the content of the document: CTRL+A
and I copied it (ctrl+C, ctrl+V) into a completely NEW document Word.
And guess what?

The size of the new document is 200 kB !
Miracle... Anybody know why?
Same content, same pictures, same background colour...
But after almost 3 hours of resizing, compressing, inserting new pics, downloading and guessing I have succeeded...  .... Oh, god, my comp doesn�t like me, I guess... LOLShocked

I posted a comment SOMEWHERE in one of the discussions about this... but here it is again about Word documents...

If you (heavily) edit a Word document that contains graphics Word will actually (generally) keep a lot of extra information that tracks all the changes that have gone on to make sure the correct images show up (I can provide a more technical description if anyone wants it).

By copying your edited worksheet & pasting it into a new document you essentially start THAT document with a �clean sheet� so there is less stuff for Word to track changes in.

That�s pretty much why the �cut & paste� thing may (but not always) reduce the size of a document.

Cheers
