How to Compress Embedded Objects or Charts in a Word File
Adding files or charts to your Word document is a great way to make sure the reader has additional context. However, it usually comes at the cost of a massive increase in file size. Watch this video to find out how to mitigate these issues and reduce your file to a more manageable size.
ℹ️About this video
How to Compress Embedded Objects or Charts in a Word File is the fourth and final episode of the “Reduce Word File Size” series
In this video (episode 4), we explore the two most common embedded object types in Word: PDF embedded as icons and Charts.
We show you how to extract PDFs from the Word document, compress it with a file compressor and then re-insert it back into Word.
We also demonstrate a sneaky technique to flatten embedded Excel files behind the charts so only a picture representation of the chart appears.
Both solutions result in huge file size savings in your Word files.
