Unless the picture is exactly the same size as the page, it’ll probably look wrong. There’s no provision to resize or reposition the page background image within Word. If the image is too small for the page, the image is repeated. If Visio reports an error when attempting to save a large drawing, reduce the Resolution as necessary. What you see on the Word page is the top left corner of the image. Rotation: None, Flip horizontal:, Flip vertical: In the GIF Output Options dialog box that opens, I select these options:ĭata format: Non-Interlace, Background color: WhiteĬolor reduction: Adaptive, Transparency color: Under Save as type, select Graphics Interchange Format (*.gif), and then click Save. (I retain a copy of the Visio drawing in a secure location for future editing as needed.) To create the graphic, from the Visio File menu, click Save As. Rather than embedding a Visio drawing object, I create a graphic from the drawing and embed the graphic. It even does this if I close the Visio drawing without making ANY changes to it. (Your experience may be different.) The initial insertion works fine, and drawing size is reasonable, but if I double-click a Visio object later to edit it and make a slight change usually (for me) results in the Word file increasing by 15 MB or more for complicated drawings.
You copy the inserted image and then paste it at a different location in the document. You insert an image into a Microsoft Office Word 2007 document by using the IncludePicture field. I found similar file-size issues when inserting Visio drawings. Size of the image is not preserved when you copy and paste an image that is inserted by using the IncludePicture field in Word 2007. In addition, the file will load faster and you can make edits quicker.Ī picture worth a thousand words a word is worth a milli-picture. The same document, when the same photos had been inserted correctly (using Insert | Picture), shrank to 146 KB.īy inserting pictures in this manner you can save enormous amounts of hard disk space and communication bandwidth if the document has to be e-mailed. Adding two photos using cut-and-paste techniques resulted in a file that was 435 KB in size. When they are cut and pasted they are treated as TIFF files, which are typically much larger than JPG files, even if the original photos were JPGs.įor example, a twelve-page document with no photos takes approximately 72.5 KB on disk. The reason for this is that Word handles pictures differently when they are cut and pasted compared with when they are inserted. (You know-a picture is worth a thousand words.) When inserting JPG images into Word documents, you should strongly consider using the Picture option from the Insert menu, rather than doing a simple copy and paste. It is common practice to insert pictures into Word documents.
