Shrink documents with big images

This from the department of learning something new every day.

You know how it is, you put loads of images into a Word document or a PowerPoint Slide show, without thinking about their size. Next thing you know, the file is huge, it's running slowly and too big to put into moodle.

Here's how to compress them.

• Click on an image, and the picture toolbar should appear; if not, right-click on the image and choose -Show picture toolbar.
• One of the icons there is compress - clcik on it
• Choose Compress all images andd web/screen (for slideshows) then OK.
• This will save loads of space without loosing a lot of quality.
