That's not too clear, unfortunately. Could you please explain:
a) How are you "compressing" the graphics?
b) "Cropping" itself means deleting parts of an image that are outside a
selected area; "deleting the cropped area" is not only redundant, it's
confusing :-)
c) You're mixing "compression" with "cropping" somehow, when you say
"sometimes, after I compress a graphic, it returns to its uncropped size."

I assume you're using an image editor to crop the image. You then save the
image to a file on disk, and link the image file into Word. To the best of
my knowledge, the only "compression" available depends on the image format
in which you save your image - JPEG or PNG, for example. Also to the best of
my knowledge, there is no way to use *Word* to compress graphics.

I suspect you mean "resizing" and not "compressing" - is that a good guess?
