You could always use JPG and make the image "compressed" to the greatest level that still a good viewable quality. Also, make sure you images are the "exact" size you want for the document and not need to resize it to a smaller size in the document to fit the image area you are using. That will reduce the amount of "space" in the file needed to store the image. I have seen too many documents with nearly full page size images that are reduced to a visible one of less that 2 inches. That just add a lot of file size to the document that is not needed. So, make you image out side your document the visible size and compression level you want/need first, then you do not need to resize it in the document and add unneeded file space/size in your document. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
