 * Word files How to make those huge files smaller **

If you find that your .doc are a huge file if you add pictures into them there is a way of reducing the size:-

When you paste files that end up as embedded objects, they can take up a lot of space. For example, you might use Corel Photo-Paint to edit your pics and then copy them to the clipboard and paste them into your word doc.

You can fix this problem by doing the following:
 * 1) Select the entire doc by doing a CTRL-A on the keyboard
 * 2) Then do a CTRL-SHIFT-F9 on the keyboard
 * 3) Save the file

You will see that the file will shrink enormously after doing this.

Another (but more expensive) way to get smaller Office files is to use Office 2007 and save files in its native formats (.docx, .pptx, .xlsx) instead of the old .doc, .ppt and .xls formats. The new XML-based files will be considerably smaller.
