Re: Linking .jpg images creates huge file

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Whether you can even insert images in this manner will depend on what
applications and what file associations you have on your PC. Try Insert >
Picture > from file and click the little arrow to the left of the Insert
button and choose Link to File from the sub menu.

This should produce a file size that has no relationship to the inserted
file size.

Starting with a 36KB Word File and Linking two .jpg screen shots
(61KB and 74KB respectively) using Insert | Object | create from File
| "Link to File" checked, the document became 7,747KB. The same
happens with Publisher. Why does this happen and can it be avoided?
By "breaking" the links, the file size shrunk to 435KB, which is
manageable, but still much larger than the sum of the three files. I
thought that Linking would reduce file size (and make it easier to
update the document)! Help, please!!
