how do I uncompress pictures?
An earlier answer to this stated it is not possible to undo a picture
compression. Microsoft must have got it wrong because the Help menu states you can do this by clicking the "uncompress" option in the Edit menu. But guess what: there is no such option available in the Edit menu. Lessons have to be learned the hard way. This one is: only compress the copy of a picture. If you compress the original it has to be saved and you cannot undo it. This simple actuality should have been made clear in MS Office. |

how do I uncompress pictures?
You have not quoted Help accurately. (See actual quote below) You may
only "Undo" compression BEFORE changes to the file are Saved to disk. In other word ONCE you overwrite the original with the compressed version, there IS NO UNDO. Unfortunately people tend to interpret things they read to mean what they want it to say and Microsoft has it correct. "You can undo compression by clicking Undo Compress Picture on the Edit menu. Compression changes will not be saved until you explicitly save them. You can save your compression changes either immediately after performing them, or at any time before closing Picture Manager."
