Reduce the quality of the pictures before inserting them.

How about the pictures are already in the file?<br />
Should I reduce the quality of each picture? Or any option in Word to globally reduce the quality of all pictures?

I did the screen captures by pressing PrintScreen (or Alt+PrintScreen) and then paste them in the Word file.<br />
For the next time, how should I paste the screen captures in Word if I want to keep the file size smaller?

Reduce Microsoft Word file size

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
