Embed an image
I am taking on a project where I need to resize an image and then embed it.
What's the difference between embedding an image and just inserting it? What do I need to do to embed the image? |

Embed an image
Kristen,
The Office programs, Word, Powerpoint, Excel, etc. can embed objects or link to the objects. An embedded object can be a picture (image, graphic), sound file, flash file, spreadsheet, etc. When the user, uses the insert menu, to insert a picture from a file into a word document the picture is usually embedded. The insert menu also provides for a user to Insert an object. (If you have never used this option take a look at the large number of objects that can be inserted into a document. The list is very long.) When an object is embedded into a word document it becomes part of the document. This increases the file size. In the case of a photo, the user can edit the picture within word and the original photo (located in an external file) is not altered. For a linked object, coding is inserted into the word document that links to the original object. Usually the original object is an external file. With linked objects, the file size is smaller than if the object was embedded. Linked objects can be edited using programs other than word. In the case of a spreadsheet, the user can use Exel to edit the spreadsheet. When the user opens the linked document in word, any changes to the spreadsheet may be automatically copied from the source file into the word document. -- Tom Conrad ==== "Kristen" wrote: I am taking on a project where I need to resize an image and then embed it.
