Final answer:
To reduce the file size of a document containing large images, you can use the 'Compress Pictures' option and choose a compression option like 'Web' or 'E-mail' with a lower resolution.
Step-by-step explanation:
To reduce the file size of a document containing large images, you can use the 'Compress Pictures' option. This option allows you to make the images in the document smaller without significantly affecting their quality.
When you choose the 'Compress Pictures' option, you will be presented with different compression options, such as 'High fidelity', 'Print', 'Web', and 'E-mail'. These options determine the resolution of the compressed images, with higher resolutions offering better quality but larger file sizes.
To reduce the file size while maintaining a good balance between image quality and document size, you can choose a compression option like 'Web' or 'E-mail' with a lower resolution (e.g., 150 ppi or 6 ppi for web or e-mail respectively).
