Line appearing over left and top of image when saving

Very interesting. I had to navigate to the option a little differently. Do you know how to turn off automatic compression on save universally rather than just picture by picture?

I could just turn it off once on the document and it would apply to the whole document (even after closing and re-opening the doc). As for setting it to off as a default for all new documents... I had a quick look but unfortunately couldn't find anyway to do it.

It may be worth someone else looking too, as I doubt I've looked everywhere!!

As suggested, turning off picture compression and cropping worked on a document-by-document basis. Below is information on turning off compression as the default.

One poster suggested editing the registry.

I was not enthusiastic about advising people to edit the registry in order to eliminate this problem. So I turned to . . . Turn off picture compression [in Office 2010]

To keep the maximum picture quality, you can turn off compression for all pictures in a file. However, turning off compression can cause very large file sizes without an upper limit on the size of the file.

Click the File tab.

Under Help, click Options, and then click Advanced.

Next to Image Size and Quality, click the file that you want to turn off picture compression for.

Under Image Size and Quality, select the Do not compress images in file check box.

Note This setting applies only to pictures in the current file or the file selected in the list next to Image Size and Quality.

In Office 2010, the drop-down to the right there is an option to set compression to off for all new documents. See attached picture.
