Tips:

  • Save pictures in JPEG if you want to keep them on a disk, so you can fit more of them on it. JPEG is also a good image format for e-mail purposes, so you can upload them faster and the recipient can download them faster.
  • Change the format of a Word document so it can be read in different versions of Word and on different programs. RTF, or Rich Text Format, can be read by many different word processors, and it retains formatting. Any program can read plain or ASCII text, but formatting is lost.
