Jpg files and some help when pasting them into a word document. Why does the file size increase dramatically?
I believe Word stores images as bitmaps (each pixel has so much data specifying its color), or at least at very low compression. If your JPG is going to be staying in the same place and you're not transmitting this document to others, you can insert a link to the image, rather than the image itself.
In Word 2000 and 2002, these instructions are slightly different. I remember using the feature, but not the steps to follow. In Word 2003:
- Insert -%26gt; Picture -%26gt; From File
- Select your file
- Rather than clicking %26quot;Insert%26quot;, click the little arrow to the right of it, and say %26quot;Link to File%26quot;
Jpg files and some help when pasting them into a word document. Why does the file size increase dramatically?
because word documents are meant for words. it makes the jpg bigger because it needs more pixels to show up more clear.
The .jpgs do not increase in file size. They may increase in apparent size if they have a dpi (dots per inch) greater than 72, since monitors only display 72 dpi.
So if you use a picture with a dpi of 300, the pictures will show about 16 times as big. In order for them to appear smaller, you can use the drag corners to change their size.
I would not lower the file sizes of the jpg s, as that may decrease the quality of the printouts afterward.
I think that if you add the file sizes of all the JPEGs together you'll be close to the final file size of the word document.
Even so, with regular dial up service she should be able to download the whole thing in about 20 to 30 minutes max.
Wondering if you should just change them back to word documents.
Can you make it a PDF?
