"TF" terryfarrell%40%6d%73%6e%2ecom wrote in message ... Me neither (it is the same dialog launched when using Format, Pictures, Compress Option, which is where I normally use this). But in answer to your question, there has been a bug with the cropped areas of pictures being 'hidden' rather than actually cropped. cropped areas are hidden by default anyway, in any program anyway, so you can UNcrop em - the XP compression "feature" is spose to get rid altogether I believe this was fixed in Off2k3 SP1: however, I have not tested it. i'm using Office XP ( i seem to recall it worked fine in 2K) & i believe it was included for a laugh (why else include a 'feature' that does nothing at all) I will freely admit that I rarely edit pictures in Word as it isn't that clever choosing the simple free IrfanView tool in preference. However, if full control over graphics optimisation is a must then you really need something more powerful such as PaintShopPro. I dont need any special features - Word, Built-in picture editing is more than enough for my needs - in fact it is ideal, since i only have to insert one picture into a manual & used the same picture and cropped different areas from it to produce different diagrams I have to create 20+ manuals, each including around 100+ pictures - first manual (only 25 pages) is whooooping 8 meg+, which is ridiculous Try IrfanView: it is free, exceptionally easy to use and if the standard range of formats supported is insufficient, there are many plug-ins available for it. i can use M.S. Paint for cropping, it's no big deal - but it's just going to take me 4-5 time longer to create each manual because i'll have to use a seperate application just to crop the pictures. if the XP feature worked it would be perfect - alas it makes all the right noises whilst compressing (supposedly), but the file ends up the same size & the cropped images have not been ( Thanx anyway -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "JethroUK©" wrote in message ... : File/Save As/ Tools/Compress Pictures : : : "Doug Robbins" wrote in message : ... : I'm not sure where you are seeing that option.
