Does anyone have any experience of programmatically adjusting images in
Word documents? I need to reduce the file size of about 500 Word docs,
all of which have 5 or so images embedded at the original size but only
displayed at about 25%. Each one weighs in at somewhere between 4 and 6
Mb, and we need to get that down by much as possible.

Not having used Word in this way before, is it a question of:

 looping through the documents images array
 for each image, determining it's visible dimensions
 cutting the image from the document
 resizing it in memory to the visible dimensions
 pasting it back at the same spot

Sounds like a crazy plan, but might it just work? Anyone got a handle on
where to start?

Thanks, and sorry for the Friday OT.
