Hi all,
I'm currently working on a user manual and am experimenting with
different graphics file types. I'm creating my main document in Word.
Ideally, I'd like to embed my graphics in the document, but since
bitmaps and some other graphics file types are notorious for bloating
file sizes, I'm avoiding them like the plague. Anyway, I started playing
around with j-pegs and noticed that resulting file sizes were
comparatively small. Is there any reason why this wouldn't be an okay
file type to use? Would you guys have any other suggestions?
Muchos gracias,
Nicole
