[QUOTE="MinnieMouse9, post: 1493319, member: 292665"] Maybe I'm not explaining the problem very well. I need to shrink jpegs from say 10MB so that they can be inserted in Word documents as thumbnails at about 50 or 60KB. When I had a PC with Office 2010 (sorry, my error saying it was Windows 2010) I started by reducing the jpeg size in Photoshop, and then inserted the reduced size image into a Word document. That version of Word isn't on my Mac, but from memory the process was go to INSERT menu; choose PHOTO FROM FILE; click on your jpeg. The jpeg is inserted into the document. Then a tab pops up with various options about what you can do with that image. One of those options is named COMPRESSION. If you are using 50 or 60 jpegs in a Word document and choose to ignore the COMPRESSION option, you will be working with a Word document the size of a dinosaur and about as easy to manage . If you use COMPRESSION on every jpeg in the document, the size will stay manageable. [/QUOTE]
