>I guess trying to separate the
graphics from the text into individual files and then using links would be
a solution<
* Yes. Thats the classic way to prevent "bloated" document files
* Are the graphics screen shots taken at 15 zillion colours? If so, you can
normally use PaintShop Pro or similar to reduce the no. of colours. This
gives a smaller graphic file with little or no discernible effect unless you
are doing a high res. print out.
* If the manual is to be printed out on a B/W laser, then just use grayscale
images.
