Handling “Save for Office” / “Copy for professional printing

[cadudesun]

Hello,

I would appreciate any help to understand the impact of the options “Save for Office” / “Copy for professional printing”.

I am writing a thesis through Microsoft Word and I use a plenty of images. Normally, I handling the images in PSP and I insert it in Word through “insert picture from file”.

I realized PSP has the mentioned resources to handle images to Office applications. I intend to print Microsoft Word obtaining the best image quality of my pictures. Is “Save for Office” or “Copy for professional printing” worth using?

Many times I take images through PSP “screen capture”. So, if I use in PSP “Copy for professional printing” and paste in Word, will it improve the final document printing?

Many thanks in advance,
Cadu

For the most part you can think of those as resizing presets.

They have a maximum setting for the width and height as well as for the resolution. What these settings are I do not know. But I believe the professional sets the resolution at 300 ppi.

Usually in an office document for regular printing a resolution of 96 to 150 is good enough. And usually at the size used in a paper like that you won't notice any better quality as a result even if you do it for professional printing.

"Save for Office" command is an option that you can use if you want to optimize your images for placement in another application, such as a page layout, e-mail, or Web page design application.

I think that “Copy for professional printing” is pretty much self-explanatory.
