HELP! File size balloons on Mac Word docs when opened on PC!

I've created a 2-page document in Word (v. 11.2.0 for Mac), placing two
different graphic files as the header and footer on both page 1 and 2.
These images are saved as hi-res RGB .jpegs, and measure a standard
page size of 8.5x11 for each, since elements in the design span the
length of the page. I have a text box linked from page 1 to 2, and a
few text styles for the copy. That's pretty much it.
I save the document to my hard drive and the file size comes in at
around 2.3 MB. When I e-mail it, or place it on my company server for a
PC user, they can merely open it without changing any content at all,
save it to their hard drive or back to the server, and the file size
will balloon to 26 MB!
I've created these so PC users can customize them and share with
clients (who in turn may change copy as well), but with the file size
enlarged to that proportion, it's no longer feasible to e-mail.
Do I need to change the format of the graphics in the headers/footers,
save them from Photoshop as "optimized" JPEGs or GIFs, or is there a
setting in Mac Word itself that will compress the images without
decompressing them on a PC?
Help!!!
