Linked Document in Word increases size of document dramatically

Does anyone have any idea why my document increases in size from around 70k
to 526k when I link a document that is on 70k in size? I need to link our
templates to our letterhead so that I do not have to update hundreds of
templates everytime something changes. Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks!

Word loves to keep pre-rendered copies of all linked inserts. So, your
linked document is being stored with the 'master', and all gfx are
being kept as pre-rendered frames.

Then it has to track cross-references, styles and all sorts of other
little things,
