Step for Compressing Documents

Posted on 
March 5, 2025

Please follow the following steps for compressing submitted documents:

We are unable to accept Google Docs and suggest the following to compress pictures.  

-Open original document in .docx format and open it in Word

- Go to File/Options/Advanced/Image Size and Quality.  Set the Default Target Output to 96ppi and click on Discard Editing Data and then “OK.”

- Go to one of your pictures in the doc - Figure 1 will work.  Click on the Figure and then at the top, click on Picture Tools/Format/Compress Pictures.  

- Click on 96ppi and unclick Apply Only To This Picture.  Click on “OK” and “Save As.”

- Check the size in File Explorer.

- If the doc is still over-size, save your biggest picture in .jpeg instead of .png.  This will often save a lot of space.
