No - just the basic office package. We have it at work though so I could use that tomorrow if I can't do it on my own computer

I don't think you will be able to do it with the office package, I may be wrong. In adobe photoshop >open picture that you want to reduce, go to >file>save for web> on the the right of both pictures, change width to 600 and make sure there is a tick in >constrain proportions and > apply. then save it as normal. All done!!

Use IrfanView. It's a free program and very easy to use.
