How do I make my worksheets smaller?
|
|
I am sure I am not the first to ask, I�ve even seen it before just never saw an answer.......
several of my worksheets are over 300 kb and therefore I cannot upload them. Al my worksheets are already black and white (our school doesn�t allow color copies...) but they have black and white pictures now and then. Can anyone explain to me how to reduce the size? Please take into account that I do not understand computers... :) so explain it step by tiny step please.....
thanks in advance, Marion |

Download and install �Easy Thumbnails� to reduce the size of your photos. It�s a brilliant program and free and dead easy to use, even for a computer novice. |

When you�ve finished making the worksheet, right click on it in Word, and choose the compress option on the tab (right click - format picture - picture tab - compress - change resolution). Compress it for web (96 dpi). My worksheet starts off as 1.5 megabytes and finishes as 250 kilobytes, and because it�s compressed in Word, it seems to keep fairly good quality. �There�s a worksheet on this site somewhere giving advice on how to make worksheets. Many people have found it very useful. |

Go to this page
and download powerlite which helps reduce file size of documents and powerpoints as well.
Good luck! |
