Hi,
I'm editing my eBook in Word, ready to create an ePub with Atlantis. Would appreciate anyone considering this issue forme...

When you insert an image into Word and then alter the image (e.g. make it greyscale, crop it etc), Word then creates a second version of the image which it keeps a record of, making the file size larger. Is there anyway I can get Word to erase the original image version, and just keep the new version (e.g. the greyed, cropped one)?

My eBook is very large with several hundred images etc, so I'm keen to do this. Also Atlantis only shows the original image version when opening inside it, applying none of the changes Word has made.

Thanks in advance,
Karen
