Another bug?

In save options, "Delete cropped areas of pictures" doesn't work?

I have a document which is a whooping 8 meg

Does this feature actually work, or have i got to crop pictures in MS Paint?

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.

I swear that I looked there for that before posting and it was not there.
It is now though.
