Powerpoint slides in word

[Guest]

I have a word document that I have inserted 41 slides into from pwerpoint, by
copying the slide in Powerpoint and paste special>paste link> powerpoint
object in word.
However, everytime I save the document the file just about doubles in size,
unfortunately I didn't figure this out until the file was 99,000KB so now it
won't do anything. I will have to start again, and paste all the links in
again, but I would like to know how to avoid this problem again. Any
suggestions?
Thanks (I am using word 2000)

Don't paste them as objects. Paste them as pictures. 'Object' means that
what you see in the document is not just an image of the slide, but
PowerPoint data as such, capable of independent editing in PowerPoint. So
your document has in effect ended up with 41 separate PowerPoint files
contained within it.

Or use an entirely different approach: print the Word document and the
PowerPoint file separately to PDF, then combine them there.
