							| Help 
 |  
							| Dear Colleagues,  At last,  I have managed to upload some worksheets recently, thanks to your help. I face another problem I can �t solve. I tried many times to upload a grammar worksheet, but I think it �s more than allowed size. So, who can tell me how to reduce its size. Thank you a million in advance. |  26 Aug 2011

							| If it �s large because of many pages in the document, you should split it into two parts and upload as 2 parts of an activity. But if it �s large because it has clipart or images, then you should reduce those. You can click on a picture, then right-click and find the word Format picture in the window. Click on that and find the compress button(in my  �windows �, it �s in the bottom left hand corner of that window), then just click OK and again OK. If you do this with every image/frame/clipart, it slightly reduces your graphics, but shaves off KBs from your documents. Also, if you use internet pics, always save them to pc and then insert into word. If they �re too big, you can reduce them using any software for that (I have IrfanView which is free for download, and very simple to use - open a picture, click on edit and resize, write smaller numbers in the open boxes, and then sharpen the image - it turns a 2MB picture into about a quarter its size). |  26 Aug 2011
