Inserting Picture

[Tammy]

I have a text document that I scanned and the file size
is 75kb. (I saved it as a .jpg file.)
I inserted it into a Word document like so - Insert >
Picture > From File -
Now the file size is over 1000kb. What is happening
here?
The problem is - I want to be able to do this often and
when the file exceeds 3MB, our network at work kicks it
back.
Is there any way of decreasing the size of the file?
Even when I size the object in the document so it's
microscopic, the file size is still over 1000kb.

HELP!

Hi Tammy,

What version of Word and what format are you using in Word in File=>Save
for your documents? Do you have 'picture preview' checked in File=>Properties?

Hello and thank you for helping me - I'm using Word 2000 -
My saved file type is "Word Document." Regarding the file
properties - The file I have is at work right now, but I
was just checking file properties on my application at
home and I assume it doesn't default to 'picture preview'
I never checked that box whith the file at work - Any
suggestions?

Thanks again
