Big Document
|
|
Hi, I made a very nice document in Word that came out to 508 kb. But when I saved it as a 97-2003 Word Document, it came out to about 1,400 kb! Anybody know why that would happen? I �ve done this with several documents and never had this problem. I compressed, etc. but it �s still too big. I don �t know how I �m going to eliminate 1,000 kb. Any ideas?
Thanks so much, Esther |

if you �re sure it �s perfect, you can use pdf creator to save it as a jpg and then paste the jpg on a new document word... otherwise you can look at the tutorials, you may find a solution there :)

That worked. I went to Youtube to get a tutorial on how to convert to jpeg. The result is a little fuzzy but it �s now 344 kb. THANK YOU! |

you and also just take a picture to get at jpeg and then reduce quality in jped. If jpeg
is about 480 will turn out about 500 in word |

Fuzzy is what you don �t want, right? Plus a jpeg is uneditable and we all appreciate an editable ws, don �t we? as there can be a couple of words or a grammar structure or phrase that our students might not be familiar with. Maybe you saved it in a compatibility mode and that made the doc so big (i.e. some fancy fonts got embeded in the doc) so there �s probably a tick somewhere in the settings of your Word to be "unticked" in order for the fonts not to be embeded in the doc. Sometimes it �s reasonable to sacrifice the looks for the usability.

You �re right, Sophia. I tried checking in how I saved it, but I can �t find anything. The fonts weren �t embedded. I must have done something to make it increase in size, but I don �t know what. :( Esther |

yeah, well I don �t know much about word 2010 which you �re obviously using... something there must have been done automatically... leave it be then. Sophia |
