1. Select the pictures you want to compress.

2. On the Picture menu, click Compress Pictures.

3. Do one of the following:

   1. To compress your pictures for insertion into a document, under Compress for, click Documents.

   2. To compress your pictures for publication on a Web page, under Compress for, click Web pages.

   3. To compress your pictures for sending in an e-mail message, under Compress for, click E-mail messages.

4. 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.
