Hello everyone!  �I just love this site and I�m happy to write to you all!!
I�m pleased to share my work with you but now I�m facing a problem: a file that I wish to download weighs 900Kb (in a doc. format). I cannot divide it into parts as it�s just one page long... Neither can I change the size of the pictures (there are not so many)... I don�t know why the file is so heavy. Ok. I converted the doc. format into pdf. and it now weighs 270 Kb. But I suffered all this only to discover that pdf. formats may not be downloaded here!!� I know I�m not the first to be facing this kind of problem, but still I don�t know how to solve it. The file I�m going to share worked well during my last class, so it would be a pity to keep it to myself... (( How can I download it?? Many Thanks� Nalina from Russia |

Hey Nalina! To compress pictures in MS Word (make the files smaller): right mouse click on your pictures-> Format picture->Picture->Compress. This really helps to make the word document smaller. Hope you find a solution, Shirley |

Hi Nalina,
If the above doesn�t work take a screen shot of the whole page and save it as a jpeg file, paste it into word and
abracadabra - its like magic! (I actually use ONENOTE to take the screenshot but all computers have a basic screenshot available i think). |

Hi, Nalina,

Nalina,
I find it hard to believe that a one page worksheet cannot be reduced to the 300kb limit - especially as you say there are not many pictures. download my worksheet http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=107849#thetop and try reducing the size of the pictures. If you really cannot do it then please feel free to send me the worksheet and I will try and reduce it for you and send it back. Promise I will not submit it as my own!!! e-mail is [email protected]

Hi Nalina,
I suppose you mean "uploading" a worksheet. :-)
I usually end up copying everything from the original document into a completely new and empty document. For whatever reason that always reduces the size - often quite substantially. I don�t know why. (I found that out after I spent two hours trying to reduce the size of a 311KB worksheet... )
You could also check, that you switched off the thumbnail function in Word. I�m not sure if that is the correct name, but it�s the picture you get, when you show the documents in your windows as thumbnails. These pics increase the document�s size in Worde immensly. In an open Word document you can switch them off under properties and summary (hopefully that is the correct translation...). There should be a box to tick for saving thumbnails or not.
These are just additional tips. Hope they are helpful.
