361110 2005-06-04 08:14:00 There are other issues that affect the "bloat" of pictures in Word as well.

One is the type of image, not all .jpg are equal it seems.

The phase of the moon and the colour of the neighbours cat also seem to affect the outcome. I have created sequential documents and the file sizes have varied by a factor of 10....

Word 2003 "compress images" works well though, and I can not observe any degradation in printed or viewed copies when using it. Not sure if this was an option in earlier versions though.

Insert object is not for email!

Be careful not to drop those chips off your shoulder when you get down from your high horse. :-DRelax Parry, Graham L has a wicked sense of humour and you just got a taste of it :D

Read his comments again and you will see how it was meant to be intepreted. :)

Fair enough.:-)

The trouble with any text communication is that you cant easily interpret the tone so tounge in cheek comments often seem very literal. Back to the rugger.

Thgey were beijng saved asd compressed Jpegs. But rthe crucial fault was "copy asnd paste" I think.

The files are being saved as compressed jpeg.
