Compacting images

However, when I try to "compact images" it only resizes it back to the full original size. If I copy and paste the image into Word, the same thing happens there. Anyone else ever experienced this?

I am using Excel 2003 with Windows 2000 SP4.

Thanks!

Hi,

I usually crop my screen captures in Paint (Attributes) and the filesize and image are both reduced.

What did you use to 'crop' the image?
