How do I custom compress photos in Picture Manager?

There is no custom compression...

On the Picture menu, click Compress Pictures.

Do one of the following:
To compress your pictures for insertion into a document, under Compress for, click
Documents.
To compress your pictures for publication on a Web page, under Compress for, click
Web pages.
To compress your pictures for sending in an e-mail message, under Compress for, click
E-mail messages.
Click OK.
Note You can undo compression by clicking Undo Compress Picture on the Edit menu.
Compression changes will not be saved until you explicitly save them. You can save
your compression changes either immediately after performing them, or at any time
before closing Office Picture Manager.

You can change both file size and picture dimensions by compressing the files to a
smaller JPG format. Microsoft Office Picture Manager automatically determines the
amount of compression after you specify how you intend to use the pictures. The
aspect ratio (aspect ratio: The ratio between picture width and picture height. This
ratio can be maintained even when resizing a picture.) of your pictures will always
be maintained. If your picture is already smaller than the compression option you
have chosen, no resizing or compression will be performed

Open your Picture Manager program and select "Help"
and type COMPRESS in the "Search for" box.

What if I want the picture to be bigger than the size for insertion in
documents but smaller than the original size? Is there any option that will
allow me to do that?

Try using the Resize options. They may work just right for what you need.
