Default File size is huge after linking many png files - Word 2003 (build 11.5604.6412)

Hello --

The doc file size was approx 200Kb before I started linking a bunch of
screenshots (captured with SnagIt in png format) into it.

After linking, the doc size is 53 Mb.

The png files total 1.4 Mb in size.

I thought linking was supposed to help keep the overall doc file size down.

Is png a bad format to use?

I have tested:
- saving to another file name
- repair upon open
and neither reduced the doc file size.

Does anyone have an idea of what I can do to shrink the file size?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Larry Mehl
