Pasting an Excel pareto into an email message burns up 2 megs?

[Stu]

I am pasting an Excel pareto (as Windows Metafile Picture) into an email
message but it comes in an a super-duper high resolution 2 megabyte picture.
How do I get it down to around 100K? - I don't need hi-res (and wasted inbox
memory)

Use an image editor to reduce its size and them paste it in.

Too much work to do every time I send an updated pareto - anyone else?

Which version of Outlook are you using?
There are cropping tools available within Outlook 2007 or for previous
versions when you have Word set as the email editor.
Look on the Picture toolbar.
