    Question How to reduce file size (lots of pictures pasted into workbook)

    Hi there,

    I have an excel spreadsheet where I have pasted in several screenshots. The pictures themselves are really small. If I use Windows Explorer and add up the size of all the pics I have, I think it may be 5MB tops. But when I paste these pictures into my excel workbook, it becomes very large... currently 14MB. I've tried various actions (after googling about it) to reduce the file size but so far nothing has made a difference at all. \

    Is anyone able to significantly reduce the file size of this workbook and tell me how you did it?

    Thanks in advance,
    Michelle

    Best pratice is using by "Paint"
    > Your screenshot photo >open with paint >
    Click on "Image" tab > select stretch and skew
    In horizontal & vertical reduce size 100% to 50% or 40% & save it in folder.
    Go to Edit tab > select all > CTRL "C"
    Go to excel file > Paste.
    Secondly, my opinion is, why not using powerpoint.
