Help with uploading worksheets
 
Dear friends!
Here I am asking for your help again!
I have tried several times to upload a worksheet. My WS has some pictures and got too heavy (506 KB) 6 KB more than the required. While I was trying to upload it I kept removing some pictures and on and on and on. But when I reached the 500 KB the task became pointless and boring. And I have dowloaded wonderful worksheets with so muuuuuuuuuuuch more pictures than mine.Confused
 
My question is: How can you do that! This is driving me crazy because I like to share my  worksheets and because of lack of time I haven�t done it for weeks.
Thanks in advance!

I have downloaded a program called paint net. It allows you to resize pictures ETC. ETC. . It works miracles !  The pictures still look good after resizing.
 
The best part of it all, however,  is that it is FREE!!!  I also use it to change the background of pictures so that it becomes transparent!!! I hate to see those white frames on coloured backgrounds. Download it here... http://www.paint.net/
 
 
If you need tutourials on how to use it.... check out  You Tube!!! 
 
Hope this helps!!! Happy new week!!!

Hi,
what I use to to is to download the pics from the internet into a file and then reisze them in either Microsoft Picture Manager of any other program and then they are fine enough to be used and you will not exceed the size of the worksheet. That was my problem from the beginning, now I do it this way and it works.
bye
