Monster File Size Increase
I created a small one page text document which takes up about 22KB. Then I
inserted a signature by clicking Insert | Picture| From File. The inserted signature file is a .JPG of about 180KB. But the insertion causes the text file + picture to grow to over 3MB. Why? And is there a way to avoid this growth? -- PT |

Word is very inefficient in incorporating embedded graphics. A 180K .jpg is
quite high resolution (or a very large signature). Can you insert the signature as a link instead? -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

I used the image resizer powertoy right click and shrank the file size from
180K to 10K. The resulting embed was much more reasonable 197K. A link wouldn't have worked, as i was e-mailing the document. -- PT "Charles Kenyon" wrote in message ...
