general question on document size

[Guest]

I'm creating a training manual for work. It's a 100+ page word doc with over
200 Jpeg images in it. So far this doc is 11 megs in size. I expect 13 megs
in the end Am I looking at having probelms in the future with this doc seeing
it's size or will it run without any problems

You might want to check how you've inserted those JPGs. Toggle field codes
and see if you see an {EMBED} field - if so you have inserted or pasted as
an editable object which bloats file sizes enormously and is rarely what you
want.

Note that this may not be your fault - depending on what application Word
thinks bitmaps"belong" to it may paste as object by default. If you need to
get the bitmaps out of the document and start again, try saving a copy
document as HTML.
