picture size

Are you confusing the file size of the Pub file with the file size of the
images after you Save as a Web Page? Publisher 2000 stores embedded jpg
images in an uncompressed format, so the original Publisher file will be
larger than expected. However, when you Save As a Web page and produce your
html code Publisher resizes and resamples the images to 96 dpi. So check the
size of your images that are produced for publishing. If you are using the
default "Publish" folder to contain your html output, look at the file size
of that folder. Are you saying that the images in that folder are 800 kb? Is
that folder larger than 20 mb?

A 200 kb pix is still waaayy too big, you should optimize and resize your
images BEFORE you place them in your design...try using Irfanview (freebie)
to batch resize your images first.

Thank you, Thank you DavidF. I am no longer frustrated. So glad I found
this group. I've used Publisher for many years but this is my first attempt
at a website. Your answer was bang on, when I Saved As a Web page "that"
folder is only 493 kb, the original Publisher file is 14,000 kb. So I have
lots of space for more pictures!

Sue,

Thanks for posting back. I appreciate the feedback and am glad it worked
out.

It must be the day for posting from Canada. Did you notice the question from
Michele from Kananaskis? You both live in beautiful areas...

Don,

Typically, png files are larger than jpg. For the OP, 300K is not a
small image, 30K is!
