I am not sure if this is still relevant to you but.. You can use a batch converter to do this. Snagit has a batch converter to convert from bmp to gif Macromedia Fireworks also has I am sure others do too. You can download an evaluation version of Snagit from Techsmith.com.

After going through the files thoroughly, it seems that the culprits were graphics that I saved as .bmps, instead of .gifs. After a few simple calculations, I found that these graphics added ~30MB to the total .chm file size. My manager would like to save space wherever possible and has asked that I reduce the size of the larger graphics and thus the size of my help file. At this point I don't see any way of fixing this other than redoing the documentation: Click through our software application Recapture the graphics in question, saving them as .gifs Insert the graphics into my FM file Regenerate the project in WWP Is there a batch process that I can use to change these graphics from .bmp to .gif in WW, or do I have to do this in the source files (FM)?
