Good advice Shahidul.   Changing the format or size of the file saves gadzooodles of space! Especially photos since html (just words) take up very little space.   Lori Michaelson C4/5 complete quad, 25 years post Tucson, AZ     -------Original Message-------   From: Shahidul Alam Date: 08/27/05 06:24:40 To: Quad Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Scanning   You can set the following options: color:  grayscale magnification: 100% file format: jpeg   I get less than 100kb in my scanner for a A4 size page.   Shahidul   On 8/27/05, B.
