![]() In your document, click any picture to select it. Click the Format menu that appears on the Office toolbar when you select a picture. On the Format menu, click the Compress Pictures button. In the Compress Pictures window, click “Apply only to this picture” if you want to compress only the picture you selected. Compressing PowerPoint files on Windows. The approach here is very similar to the way it’s done in Mac where you can compress all the images in PowerPoint files with just a few clicks. Select an image or picture in the slides. Click the Picture Tools tab on the top ribbon. ![]() Hi I have done a text on OpenOffice Writer 2.4 with a lot of images and it is 1.2Mb Then I export it to.doc format and it was 1.3Mb I opened it on Microsoft Word and I click on an image and select the option to reduce all images in the document, and finally I save it. It was only 354kb!!!!!!!!! Is there an easy way to do this on OpenOffice Writer? There is an extension for Impress named 'minimize' but I would like some thing similar for Writer. I have seen in some forums and many people suggest to copy the images to gimp and reduce the image size and after insert them again to the document.I don´t like to do all that work because if I have a lot of images it requires a lot of work and time Thanks for your attention. There is no automated way to optimize for file size in Writer. It would be nice to have the option, but it is complicated because the optimization depends on what the intended output format will be. If all you ever want to do is view the document on a computer screen, you can reduce images to about 120 pixels per inch. However, such an optimized document would give poor quality in printed form, which would require images of at least 300 pixels per inch. In most cases, the file size is less important because the Writer document is not really intended to be the delivered product. It is primarily a storage format for editing. For a final, delivered document, you would either print the document--in which case the file size does not matter at all--or export a PDF, where you do have control over the image resolution. I think we do need it, but it needs doing right. Linking all images is fine if you don't need to share files or move them — it keeps the OpenOffice document size to a minimum and the image quality as high as is available. However, many users do need to share files, and that means that images need to be embedded. Embedding high resolution images means huge documents, slow load times, etc. This is definitely not workable. The images need to be linked, but an embedded copy should be included in the document. When the user resizes an image, a new embedded copy at 96 dpi is created for display purposes so the images is not progressively degraded. The resolution to use for embedded copies should be a user option with a default of 96 dpi. When the saved file is sent to someone else, the recipient just gets the embedded images. If the current user produces a PDF, then the linked images should be used, and any compression specified in the PDF output options are then applied to the original images. I just DLd OO today and have been both a PC and Mac user before. I definitely think there is a need to have a 'compress images' function in this tool without having to manipulate the original image before putting it into the Write document. My reason is that I do a lot of work with putting screen grabs into the document and I do not want to waste time doing a lot of work to make a file of reasonable email size. The project I am working on in Word allows me to compress the images and go from a document 2megs down to 900kbs which is a good outcome. What else can I do to beg for this functionality because I can't use this software without it. Personally I'm against it.
It makes no sense to me to include all sorts of tools inside OOo (there are many that are suggested to be included, in the way that this is). Better solutions already exist, and are freely available elsewhere, and, with all due respect to the OOo developers, they probably do a better job than the over-stretched OOo development resource could manage to to do. They are over-burdened with the development and maintenance of OOo as it is. And then there is the question of bloat. But, there is an open issue for this, iy ou want to vote for then go over to the issue tracker site and register there, and you can vote for it, up to 2 votes per person. Votes are one of the things taken into consideration when the decision is made about what to include, fix, defer or reject. 'TheGurkha' The issue is not about including all sorts of tools in OOo but inserting something that everyone needs to be working with. Inserting / Including pictures in a word processing document seems to be a common / required standard nowadays.
