Recently I tried to embed a .gif and .jpeg into a word document. I need to
have the files embedded and showing as an icon. The only way I know how to
embed a picture as an icon is by inserting it as an object. But when I do,
the file size increases by a factor of 10!!! so a 500k jpeg on a blank Word
2000 document makes the Word document size 5 megs. I tried this with a PDF,
and had no such problems. How can I avoid increasing the Word document size
by 10x, but still keep embedded pictures that look like icons?
