reducing log space

[rams]

Hi all!

The transaction log of the databse i am using has grown up to 7GB...(previously the setting was unrestricted file growth...now changed to restrict file growth to 7 GB approx.)
now this 7GB space is not needed....i would like to reduce the size to around 2 GB...how can i achieve this?i observer that on the properties i can only increase the size and not decrease it...also i am using transactional replication..this server is the publisher to four subscribers..
