Excel file size blows up when inserting pictures.

[Guest]

My company uses Excel 2000. We are required to save certain items as Excel 97/2000 Workbooks
I'm curious as to whether or not there is anyway to reduce the size of the file when doing this. I'm inserting pictures, usually 2, and it causes the file to be anywhere from 3 - 6 mb. Is there any way at all the get this done to a more reasonable figure?

Hi
try different image formats (e.g. JPG, GIF, etc.) Sometimes this helps

Hi
unfortunately: No: Office applications alsways have problems with
inserting pictures. So IMHO no solution for this

Frank,
I appreciate your reply and advice.
I attempted changing the format as you suggested. We receive the

files in *.tif. I changed it to both Jpeg and Gif. Unfortunately the
jpeg doubles the size and gif triples it.
