"Delete cropped areas of pictures" does not work azealia 10.08.2006 09:19:02 I print screen and paste it in my document then crop it. Then I want to delete the cropped area by using Compress button, but it doesn't work. It turns out two ways: - If I compress by clicking at the compress button on the picture toolbar, nothing happens - If I compress by click the compress button in the Format Picture window, the result is my original pictures before I cropped. Anyone know what's the problem, please help me! Thanks a lot.

Your two options are : A) Stretching (referred to as 'resizing') in order to have the image print larger or smaller, B) Cropping, which determines how much of the image displays based on the dimensions of the 'container' it is in. Neither of these techniques actually changes the size of the image - IOW, it is all still there regardless of any amount of resizing or cropping. You can't 'delete' any of the image content. If the image file size is causing your document file size to be larger than you would like the image needs to be modified in a graphics editing program *before* you insert it into the doc... In fact, it's best if the image is fully prepared first. Relying on a word processing program to adjust graphics is just asking for trouble. The Compress feature has nothing to do with display or print dimensions of the image - it somewhat reduces the amount of image data stored in the Word file by removing certain types of content that Word has no use for.

Re: "Delete cropped areas of pictures" does not work azealia 10.08.2006 10:42:02 But I mean is that, normally, when you crop a picture, the cropped area still there, right? And it can be deleted by tick the check box in front of "Delete cropped areas of pictures" whlie compressing the picture. However, it used to work, which reduced the file size a lot. But when I try to use it again today, it doesn't work. Does anyone know what cause the problem?
