Large file sizes due to images ...
I have recently joined an organisation that likes to use Excel as a page
layout application (joy). They have been copy/pasting images into Excel - hence the large file sizes - I have tried 'Compress Images' option (making sure that I am applying to all images), and have also tried 'File', 'Save As', 'Options' & 'Compress Images' and also turned off any version tracking to try and reduce size. This works in 50% of cases, but there is a whole bunch of them that refuse to reduce in size and when re-opening the document, still report high resolution images. Why is this? Any ideas/Experiences? |

OK, images were grouped with other objects and therefor Excel would not
compress using conventional fixes. Resolution was to shade entire sheet, right click, ungroup all items, save as, compress images, web. Hope this helps anyone in future.
