Hi Maja,

There are a number of things that can influence the size of a Word document when you insert graphics. What version of Word are you
using and what are the steps you're using to insert the Powerpoint slides? If they're inserted or pasted as objects (Edit=>Paste
Special) or 'Send to Word' from Powerpoint you'll be getting more than just a graphic of the slide and that can bloat the file size.

when I insert 3 slides from powerpoint & 1 JPG file, the
Word file increases to 4.8 meg, when the total size of the
files I am inserting is only 1.6 meg. Is there a way to
keep the Word file from increasing its size so drastically? >>
