Subject:RE: Need tips on reducing Word file size From:kcronin -at- daleen -dot- com To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 5 Jun 2002 11:10:00 -0600
To clarify:
GIFs are lossless, but can only contain 256 colors, which makes them
not-too-great for photos. For everything else, they work great.
Word 2000 does accept PNG files, but I have not done any testing to
compare their impact on file size as opposed to GIFs.
Has anybody compared PNGs to GIFs? I'd be very interested....
