How to reduce the size of digital
pictures using Office 2000.
| 1. Check to see if "Microsoft Photo
Editor" is installed. If it is installed you should find it under
the "Microsoft Office Tools" program group. |
 |
| 2. If it is NOT installed, you
need to insert the Office 2000 installation CD and add this component.
The following pictures show you where it is located in the installation
options tree. |
 |
 |
| You want the option
to look like this. |
|
| 3. Launch "Microsoft Photo Editor", and
under the "File" menu select "Open...". Select the photo you want
to reduce in size. |
 |
| 4. Notice the initial zoom size. The
program has automatically visually scaled down the picture on the
screen. Take not of this number (for step 5). |
 |
| 5. Under the "Image" menu, click on
"Resize...". Type in the percentage you would like to reduce the
original image by. You can use the same number as the initial zoom
size (from step 4). Click "OK". |
 |
| 6. Notice how small the picture is.
This is because the zoom is still set to 25%. Change the zoom to
100% to see what the picture actually looks like. |
 |
| 7. Now you're ready to save the file.
It is important that you use a different name, since you don't want to
overwrite your original high quality picture with the smaller, lower
quality picture. Under the "File" menu, click on "Save As".
I would suggest adding "_smaller" to end of the file name. Then
click "Save". |
 |
| 8. Finally, notice that next to your
original picture, you have the reduced size picture. Notice the
size difference. The smaller picture will not only be scaled
better for email, but it will be alot smaller in size also (which can be
nice for those with slower connections.) |
