Author Image Quality

We use MCMS in our organization, by means of publishing word documents. My
question is, when having embedded images in the word document get sent or
published/converted to a MCMS file...the image quality or image compression
is degraded. Ours are seriously degraded and look horrible on the internet
and our web administrator has no clue to where to find the image compression
settings.

Is there an administrative setting or method to control the quality of
compression of images that are uploaded to the MCMS server from Word?
stefan?

The best info that I can pass to our IT person would be appreciated.

Signed,
Beer goggled images.

I take it you are adding the documents to the resource gallery? If
so...

I believe that this is done in Word not MCMS. I believe that images
added into an Office document are converted to Bitmaps, and are
therefore lower quality and larger in size.

No, I add PDFs and other types of documents that I want to link to in MCMS
resource gallery. In our company we create content in Word, and save to MCMS,
it is converted to an HTML page and is indexed to a certain folder, whereby
showing up as content within a designed framed template. The graphic when
placed in Word is fine, its when it is saved and converted to an HTML page
with embedded image that compression degrades. I imagine that the document
is parsed somehow, the image goes somewhere, but has to be uploaded under
some kind of parameters.

As an example check out the image quality of this page. (the image in the
content pane, not the header frame) http://www.santabarbaraca.gov/Government/

Hi Siz,

the conversion of the image is done in Word.
You will get the same result as using the "Save as html" option in Word.
Authoring Connector just upload the images as generated by Words.

If you are not satisfied with these results, please post the question to a
Word related newsgroup.

Best Regards,
Stefan Goßner

Thanks Stafan, I will also ask in the Word related newsgroup, hoping that
someone may have found the similar result.

Though after i recieved your reply, I wanted to test this... the view as
HTML in word came out pretty good, then I used the same file with MCMS and
previewed...it was degraded! If i could post an image side by side I could
show you.

Hi Siz,

then please open a support case with Microsoft to get this investigated.

Cheers,
