Hi Reitanos,

Just placing the image in Word can cause damage and the act of saving the
image using the web page option will create a jpg even if the original
image was not jpg (note that the compression model used when creating
a jpg is applied EVERY time it is saved and that compression causes a
loss of image quality that progresses with every save).

That's not true. Whilst re-saving a modified jpeg degrades it, any decent graphics program will test whether the image has been
changed (eg edited or a different compression ratio) before re-writing it.

Images embedded in Word are not re-written in this way (unless they're opened for editing) - even when the scaling or the
brightness/contrast is changed. All that Word does is to modify the way the embedded image is displayed.
