Just a quick question for those who work with Microsoft *hack*spit* Word on a regular basis; do you know what picture format will work best to reduce the overall size of a document?
I know that MS Access has a peculiarity where .bmp images are more size-economical to embed than .gif or .jpg (graphics artists, try not to pop a vein); but I'm not at all certain this holds true for Word. My office manual, currently standing at 41 pages and probably 100 odd-sized .bmp images, is topping out at just over 30 Megabytes. This seems excessive, somehow.
I won't be able to clear it up by next Monday when the new help starts, but you know; it'd be nice if the entire manual still fit on a CD when I was done with it. Yes, I know that's an order of magnitude larger than I currently stand; I'm being sarcastic.
