Word-Bitmap Converter

A tool I wrote eons ago (around 2002-2003 ish) has been listed at softpedia - Word Bitmap Converter.

Back before Office 2007, when a print screen was pasted into Word, it would store it as a bitmap, and the file size could increase dramatically. The Word Bitmap Converter went through the document, and converted each image to a jpeg, typically at limited or no noticable lower quality.
