Might be that the image size isn't your problem but rather word itself.

Get Irfanview, you can batch all the photos in your news letter. Put
them in their own folder and choose Batch, I would bring them down to
at least 800x600 or 800 x whatever x 100ppi. Those photos will be small
enough not to create the huge files. But you have to do it outside of
Word. An image editor will maintain the best image quality.
