Compress a picture in a Word 2007 document

When you insert a picture in a Word2007 document, if the picture is large in size, the file size of the Word document becomes large. Even if you change the size of a picture in a Word document or crop a picture, the size of the picture does not change. However, users can compress all pictures or selected pictures in a Word document, which can effectively reduce the size of the picture and also effectively reduce the size of the word file.
