compressing image files

[Girlpwr]

I have Office 2000 pro at work and at home but my home version does not have
the microsoft office tool called Picture manager to compress pictures...?

Picture Manager comes with Office 2003 but not earlier versions.
There's an option to compress pictures in PowerPoint 2002 (XP) and up.

I have never worked with PowerPoint

Neither feature is part of Office 2000, so I'm guessing you have a different
version at work. Or if not, that you're using some other feature at work.

Anyhow, let us know exactly what you're doing at work (ie, what steps you
follow) and what you need to accomplish.

At work...Start menu>Programs>MS office tools.MS Picture Manager.. Edit
Picture>compress
At home Start>Programs>MSoffice tools and there is not picture Manager but
there is Photo Editor
We'll see if there isn't some way to

make the same magic in the version you have at home.

I thought for sure they were the same versions. I forget where to check what
version of Office I have...?
Ah. We'll need to know

Is there a way to compress multiple pictures (Images). I returned from a t
rip with over 100 pics and want to compress them but I can only seem to do
this one at a time. UGH!

Which version of PPT are you using?

I think in principle that a photo manipulation program such as PaintShop Pro
or Photoshop Elements is better at this. You can download a trial version of
Photoshop Elements that works for 30 days here
http://www.adobe.com/products/tryadobe/main.jsp#product=40. Put all your
images in one folder, select all the images in PE and use the comand:
File>Export, then choose your compression settings.

You can do this in PowerPoint, but you have less control over the final
output.

Only my personal view for what it is worth!

Terry...

Thanks very much. I will try that.

To: echo...

I have ppt 2003

Trocchi, I do agree with Terry that there are a number of options that give
you more control over compression. (If you want a list of 'em, just holler!)

That said, in PPT 2003 (and 2002, also), there's a "compress" option on the
Picture toolbar (View/Toolbars/Picture). Just click it, and you should have
an option to compress all or compress just the selected image.

Does that get you going?
