Too large files

[Joan]

I've been trying to create a flyer to be sent via e-mail.
It has 4 pictures which I reduced to a resolution of 72 in
Adobe Photoshop. The combined size of all the pictures is
only about 245KB and yet the flyer size is 1.4M, too large
for some providers. I only have a couple of sentences of
copy and some borders. Why is the file so large and how do
I reduce its size? I'm new at this so please be very
specific. Thanks!

When you place a JPG in Publisher it stores the JPG as an UN-compressed
Bitmapped image, hence why your Publisher file is so big. Publisher 2003
does address this issue somewhat, between the extent of 20% improvement to
50% improvement as it stores the pictures internally in PNG.

Brian how sad, and I am not blaming you for not knowing who Paul Robeson was, it is the disgusting education system that did not teach you at school.

I think I could quite safely say, if you made a list of the top ten outstanding and talented Americans, Paul Robeson would be towards the top of the list.
What surprises me even more, you have not seen the documentary on television about the life and talents of Paul Robeson - incredible, really is incredible. If you ever get the chance, I would suggest and recommend you watch it. Paul Robeson was one incredible orator. I am *most* fortunate to have seen Paul Robeson on stage.

Probably all the other Americans reading this also have no idea who Paul Robeson was.
Proportionately probably more Australians know than Americans who Paul Robeson was - how sad.

Nope..don't know him. But I read your linked page. Sounds like he was a good man.

"Time to upgrade", well I would not take Publisher 97 off my computer as it
is still one of the best and most functional versions of Publisher.

The only worthwhile versions of Publisher have been Publisher 2.0a,
Publisher 97 and Publisher 2003.
All in between versions have been GARBAGE/RUBBISH/JUNK/CRAP

I am using Pub 2003 and note the same problem. If I email the default demo template to myself it is 45k , if I then cut the MS demo words and paste roughly the same number of my words in, then email it again the new emailed file is more then 30k larger. Any idea why it has grown? No images have been changed, (or fonts / styles etc.
