Inserted images in Word and Powerpoint may appear small, but they are actually stored as their original size unless compressed. This can cause printing to take a long time and needlessly increase file sizes. Thankfully there is a way to compress images in both these applications.
Office 2000, XP and 2003
Open the view menu and select 'Pictures' from the 'Toolbars' sub-menu. The picture toolbar, as shown below, should appear.
Click on the 'Compress pictures' icon (highlighted in orange on the above picture).
This opens the following window.
Select 'Web/Screen' for the highest level of compression, or 'Print' for a lower level. Make sure that 'Apply to' is set to 'All pictures in document', and click 'OK'.
You may then receive the following warning. If you do, click the 'Apply' button.
Office 2007 and 2010
Click on any image to enable 'Picture Tools', and click the 'Format' tab shown below.
Click the 'Compress Pictures' button (highlighted in orange on the above picture), to open the following window.
Select whichever level of compression best suits your purposes. Make sure that 'Apply only to this picture' is not selected, and click the 'OK' button.

Cool little tutorial... thanks :)
Thanks for the kind words
Picture tools in Word 2010 is of great use with many new features compared to previous versions of word. And yeah this compression of images is most useful to help with images running more size and delaying printing processes. Thanks for sharing. Keep posting!
I actually had no idea this could be done. This is going to save me lots of time. Thanks for the tips :)

Very good, very clear, and I have a use for this today. Thank you!
Nice posts
first visit, greetings from me, hope you are willing to come to my blog
The options in 2003 version was much more easier and user friendly. One who does not anything about office software can also work on it.
I'm with Jodie... I consider myself graphically challenged so this post came at a very handy time. Two weekends ago all the family descended (it was a great time!) with lots of photos taken. I want to send them off, but you're looking at MANY megas (and the recipient uses AOL of all things). So maybe, if she doesn't respond about downloading and unzipping a zipped file (don't know if she knows how), I'll try this method instead :)
Again a big thanks because even if I don't use this tip now, I will know it's available for other uses!
