I've got a 15 page Word 2007 doc with some graphics and tables that's over 11MB. Any suggestions on how to shrink it?

I can't really e-mail it at this size.

Responses:

Ok I figured it out. I had one image which I must have inserted directly from Visio, rather than saving down to jpg and then inserting. - Subversive Jan 14, 09:32 1
- nice. it's usually the images (or something else that's been "inserted.") -- nm - JaxSean Jan 14, 09:37
Here's 5 helpful hints: -- (link) - JaxSean Jan 14, 09:25
Open Windows Explorer, Create New Compressed (zip) Folder, put the Word file in the folder, attach the folder to email -- nm - Roger More Jan 14, 09:23
what lileve said (I think you can right-click and change it), or zip the whole thing - Beryllium Jan 14, 09:23 1
- It's word 2007. -- nm - Subversive Jan 14, 09:24
reduce the resolution of the images. -- nm - lileve Jan 14, 09:22 4
- or move them to an Appendix that is a separate file. -- nm - decline Jan 14, 09:23
- The largest image is only 158k, would they take up more space when I insert them? -- nm - Subversive Jan 14, 09:23 2
  - according to my link above, inserting them is smaller than cutting & pasting. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 14, 09:27
  - depending on how retarded it has decided to be, it might have converted them to a bitmap format -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 09:24
remove every 3rd word -- nm - decline Jan 14, 09:22 1
- L3. (I actually snorted a little) - Subversive Jan 14, 09:22
