Exploding File Size

[Lee Brown]

I am working on a 75 page document with lots of graphics
in Word 2000. Most of the graphics are diagrams created
in PowerPoint with some imbedded pictures. The problem is
the size of the Word document is nearly 10 times the
original PowerPoint file. I have been using Paste Special
and selecting Picture as the format. Any suggestions on
how to reduce the size of the Word file? I have to be
able to send it via email and the file size is restricted
to approximately 5 Megs.

Thanks,
Lee
