Inserted Photos - Enormous Excel File Size
Hi,
I have inserted and re-sized photos in a spreadsheet. There are (29) photos, and there individual file sizes total 15MB. However, the saved Excel file is 442MB! The same Excel file without the inserted photos is only 28KB. I need to be able to share this file (with the photos) with folks in other locations. Is there some way to keep the Excel file from ballooning like this, when photos are inserted into it? Why does the Excel file get so large? Thank you |

Inserted Photos - Enormous Excel File Size
XL is not a graphics program and is likely not designed to deal with large
attachments. Shrink the size of the pictures down to under 512K or so and you'll be fine. -- Brevity is the soul of wit. "Steve Lee" wrote: Hi, I have inserted and re-sized photos in a spreadsheet.

Inserted Photos - Enormous Excel File Size
Inserting .bmp files can result in a huge worksheet. Here is a trick:
1. save you workbok as a Web Page 2. a _File folder should be created. 3. in the folder will be your pictures in .jpg format 4. use these pictures in place of the originals -- Gary's Student "Steve Lee" wrote: Hi, I have inserted and re-sized photos in a spreadsheet.

Thank you for the response. I am already using .jpg files, not .bmp's. Any
other ideas? I have seen this same file size problem with photo's inserted into MS Word documents, too. Seems to be a problem with the way that MS handles embedding these types of files? It seems like it would be a very common thing to do, so there must be some "trick" that I am missing... Steve "Gary''s Student" wrote: Inserting .bmp files can result in a huge worksheet.
