Subject:RE: Need tips on reducing Word file size From:kcronin -at- daleen -dot- com To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 5 Jun 2002 12:14:59 -0600
Quick and dirty test results:
Two identical Word docs, file size = 63K each
? Inserted 30K PNG into one, new Word doc size = 374K
? Inserted 30K GIF into the other, new Word doc size = 322K
Once again, GIF wins. And I have no clue why.
