Hi
We are about to use Open Office, for the first time whilst overseas
for a few months, where it will be our only text/imaging programme.
We are wanting to keep the kids informed about our travels and send
Open Office documents, including photos, as attachments to emails.
In 'ms Word' - my usual day-to-day software - we can create a text
doc ., add images, and then compress that whole page for easy and
small-size attachment to an email.
I can't seem to do the same thing in Open Office.
I guess I have missed something..
Can anyone enlighten me?
Many thanks
Dave
I would recommend exporting as a pdf file. When doing that, you can
set the compression to the desired value.
An important additional advantage is that essentially anyone can read
the file, whether they have OpenOffice installed or not.
ODF already compresses documents.
I've found that documents that contain a lot of pictures (like a
newsletter I edit for a local club) can get quite large in file size.
When converting such a document to pdf, depending on the settings that
are chosen in the pdf export, a pdf file that is quite a bit smaller
than the .odt file is possible, while maintaining reasonable image quality.
