Hi All,

I work with MS Word and images a lot. I have usually copied and pasted
images into Word (even images I have saved in a file).

However, a thought came across my mind today: Is there a difference if
I perform a copy/paste of an image or if I use the "insert picture"
function available in word?

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Hi Donald,

Have you tried it for yourself? if so, what did you find?

Cheers

Don,
This is a bit late, but here is what I know about pasting vs. inserting pix.
It used to be that pasting graphics, particularly .bmp files (which were in
wide use "back in the day"), would inflate the size of a Word file
tremendously. Thus "good Word practices" called for always inserting
pictures. I have not checked current versions of Word to see if this is still
true. One acquaintance who knows a fair bit about Word recently told me that
she no longer sees a difference.

To macropod's point, you might try a test with the types of graphics you
use. If you do, plz post your results!
