I'm not sure where you are seeing that option. I don't see it anywhere.

Interesting. I was quite unaware of that dialog.

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. I believe this was fixed in Off2k3 SP1: however, I have not tested it. 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. 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. -- 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.

I swear that I looked there for that before posting and it was not there.
It is now though. -- Please respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested. Questions sent directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.
