Posted:, 03:48 PM Thanks for the answer. In Office 2011 for Mac, a frame is a container that surrounds objects, such as pictures and charts. You use a frame when your text or graphic contains comments, comment marks, or note reference marks so that you can position them within a document precisely and control text flow around the frame. Would you know another way to get the same benefits of reducing filesize in word? Last night, I finalized a word document for a client. It was 1.3M, added 2 pictures on front page, size jumped to 3M (?). Was not able to do better with office 2004 for mac. Transfer the file to my vista computer using office 2007, compress the picture using the feature in edit picture, save the file and got the same file at 600k!!!!!! However, I did this with a PC-Vista, no way around this with Mac? My purchased book won't open in my kindle for mac apps. Thanks for your help.

The compression algorithm basically discards information (pixels & color data) in order to reduce file size on disk. Worst of all it gives the user no say in what information is discarded. Depending on the settings used - it sounds like it may have been at 150 or even 96 ppi - it is most likely well short of what's required for printing witout pixellation & loss of tonal quality. No matter how good it looks on screen. Even the max offered (220 ppi) which MS deems 'suitable' for print falls noticeably below the preferred resolution of 300 ppi. -- Regards|:>) Bob Jones Office:Mac MVP. Posted:, 06:24 PM Yes I expect a certain quality that is fine as is (with Vista!). It is a technical report and I usually put a picture on the cover page or better a composite picture made up of a few pictures from my field work. I am not a mathematician, but when you put a 1M or 1.5M picture that has a large size and you bring it on a cover page to resize it to a few centimeters width and height (few inches), you don't need to keep it all, yet when the file is saved, it keeps everything. I understand that if the file is reduced in size, you cannot bring the picture to the quality it was before but in office 2003 and 2007, the quality offered with this 'compress' feature is fine for this use and, by the way, used by many, many people. So why office for mac is not providing this same feature that exist in office 2007?
