Default Multiple copies of graphics in output

I'm not sure if this is an Outlook issue or a Word issue, but I've already
tried the Outlook forum, so I'll try he



Sometimes, when I send a MailMerge email that contains graphics, some
recipients view the email through a webmail account, and the graphics show
up as attachments, rather than in the body of the text.

That's OK, but what is not OK is that there may be two or three copies of
the same graphic. I'll put two grahics on the page, but there may be four
or five attachments. It just looks sloppy - multiple versions of the same
image.

Is there any way I can clean this up before I do the mail merge? Is Word
storing multiple copies of some grahics internally in the document, and
sending them all out?

I can't do anything to make this predictably replicable, but it happens
fairly regularly, and it seems that it happens to everyone, but I'm not
sure, I haven't polled everyone. It's just that the few that I can look at
are all the same.

I'm using Office 2003.
