Well, after playing... I can permanently crop normal or large .jpgs but very
small .jpgs of say 2kb won't stay cropped - strange, but I suppose most
people will be cropping large images....
I have to add that 2007 is a real pain to start with, but there are lots of
nice extras that they've added in (when you find them).

2007 actually should remove the cropped parts automatically when you save
the file. How did you insert the pictures you're having trouble with?
