Many people are now using photos from digital cameras in Word documents, PowerPoint presentations etc. These can often create enormous file sizes.
If you are using any type of graphic from any source, use the following process to reduce your file sizes dramatically:
Step by Step:
After downloading pictures from your camera, you can insert them into any Office document or presentation etc clicking Insert, Picture, From File
Locate the folder the photo is in and click Insert.
Resize the picture as required (if you are resizing manually, always use the corner handles to maintain height/width proportion).
Use Edit, Cut (or Ctrl+X) to cut the picture.
Click Edit, Paste Special…, scroll down and select Picture (JPEG).
Click OK.
This will convert your photos to JPEGS and keep you file sizes managable.
