Have done huge manuals, full of images using
Insert, Picture, From File, Insert (LINK TO FILE)
[LINK TO FILE is under the Insert button dropdown]
which only stores only the linkpath to the images.
Empty My Pictures (Me2kXP), store ALL images there
for the duration of the project. When finished,
archive the Word file and My Pictures folder.
With this technique a 500 image-only document would
still be tiny from Word's Point Of View, and would
save small and be corruption resistant. It has the
benefit of allowing you to continue to retouch and
enhance images with an external picture editor.
Image prints too dark? Edit the image and save. The
next time Word opens the document it will read the
retouched image. Another benefit, you would not need
to resample or downsample the image or its palette
-IF- your printer prints full color, full-size images
fast enough for you.
You want to downsample if you embed images, to keep
printing times fast. Storage would then be an issue.
Word appears to save embedded compressed files
uncompressed, as though they were an uncompressed
bitmap-format file (Word2k). These balloon up quick,
and are a bigger target for corruption.
If your O/S, print driver or output device spools the
whole print job before beginning printing, and appears
to choke on a memory overflow, consider printing the
document in 'ranges' ... print pages 1-25, then once
finished, 26-50, 51-75, etc. If it chokes on 25 pages
at a time, try 10 at a time.
If that becomes to much a hassle, try Dian's solution
and downsample the whole lot. Make a backup copy of
the original images folder, and run an automatic batch downsampling on
them. ThumbsPlus (Cerious Software) has a batch downsampler routine, as
does an ancillary product of Photoshop.
piece o' cake
