Duplicate Images

[benjibach]

I use Microsoft Word XP to edit my business webpage. I take multiple images
for each of my products to upload to the webpage. After I insert the pictures
onto the page and save it, Word not only saves the image file in the
appropriate images file, but also creates a much smaller size duplicate. When
it does this, I have to go back, delete the pictures I inserted, go to the
image folder and delete the larger copies of the picture, then RE-insert the
smaller copies that word created the first time.

As you can guess, this gets to be pretty annoying after a while. How to a
get word to stop duplicating the image, and instead just automatically use
the smaller image?

Hi Benji,

What format are the pictures in when you insert them?

Are you resizing them after they're inserted?

If pictures are resized, or not in .JPG or .GIF format when inserted Word will retain the original and the resized or 'webified'
one. The main goal of the Word web document feature is to be able to have the original document fully 'there' when reopened in
Word.

Saving as Web Page-Filtered will remove some of that behavior.
