Although I do usually link graphics when possible, especially when the
graphic is a logo in a letterhead (which would result in every single letter
being unnecessarily bulked up), there are two disadvantages to this
practice:
1. If you want to send the document to someone, you need to unlink (embed)
the graphic or the recipient won't be able to see it.
2. If you move the document, Word's nasty habit of converting absolute links
to relative (except of course when you want them relative, in which case it
insists on absolute) may well result in the dreaded red X, requiring you to
reinsert the graphic from its original location; that one bit me just the
other day.
