My photos are large so emailing more than 4-5 is a problem. How can I reduce
their size? Also I insert photos into Word docs and they won't go through
email either. Help.

=======================================
XP or Vista?

If you are running Windows XP...the following
free PowerToy would be worth a look:

OK, go to the following link and download and
install: ImageResizer.exe
http://tinyurl.com/2meyw
or...
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

Then you can open any folder that contains
images and you will have an option to resize.
Just right click the selected image files and
choose Resize Pictures from the menu. You
can select one image or a whole group.

The program will place the resized copies in
the folder with your originals.
(Tip: *Never* overwrite your originals)

To insure that images in both portrait and
landscape orientation are resized to the
same dimensions...go to...Advanced...
and enter the largest number in both fields.
IOW...for 600x800...enter 800 in both fields.

If you are running Vista...the VSO image
resizer might be worth a try:
