Using Microsoft word 2007 and reducing size of worksheets

Using Microsoft word 2007 and reducing size of worksheets
 
Hi
 
I have created a crossword using one of the free online crosswrd makers, I copied the crossword into Word 2007 and added a border.  I then saved the document.
 
Realising that the site doesn �t accept docx files I wnet back and resaved it as a doc file, compatible with Microsoft 97-2003 and compressed the images.
 
The original file in word 2007 was 64kb, it is now 623kb.  Why?  What can I do?
 
Thanks

Hi Dear Elisabetta! I took this from F.A.Q. I think it can help you.
 

FAQ � How do I make my Worksheets smaller?

Select one of the images and Right click then select Image format.  One the �Image Tab� click �compress�.  Select �Apply to all images� and �for web or Screen� then click Accept.  That should be enough.  There are other methods and more options available.  For more information go the search on the Home page : http://www.eslprintables.com/ and enter �Tutorial�.  Here you will find several options to reduce the size of your worksheets.  Obviously this will cost you a point.  If you have no points and reducing the images as above is not enough, another option is two split the worksheet into 2 or more parts, and upload them separately.

Please, also try Paint: click on the image and paste it on paint. Click on the Icon Image and then on Reduce size (for example, Vertical 50% and Horizontal 50%  - always choose for both the same number). Finally save as... It does miracles. You can also use Microsoft Picture Manager, select Image, rezise and save as.

Have a great weekend.

Thanks but the problem isn �t actually images as there are none except for a simple border.  the problem appears to be saving it as a microsoft doc format as opposed to docx (microsoft2007)
