Large file size after inserting pictures.
My "Word" document file size increases dramatically after inserting JPEG
images using the "insert picture from file option". I even used the "link to file" option during the picture insertion process, but the file still grows to a large size sfter inserting and saving the document (i.e. 100K JPEG results in a 3Meg file). This doesn't occur however until after I attempt to reduce the picture size in real-time by highlighting it and scaling it down using one of the diagonal corners. I'm using word 2002/SP3. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Scaling the picture in Word results in the scaled image being kept in the
document.
