There's 2 options: create as Icon  or  create as link:
as link, the recipient can't open the link though the
overall size of the Word doc is much smaller.

Is there any way to get it to work with "create as link" ?

<div>
Size of the saved Word document file if we don't check the 2 options<br />
= size of the saved Word file if 'Display as icon' is checked
</div>


Size of the saved Word document file if we don't check the 2 options
= size of the saved Word file if 'Display as icon' is checked

<div>
But if we choose &quot;link to file&quot;, the saved file is even much<br />
smaller

But if we choose "link to file", the saved file is even much
smaller

I have MS Word 2010 &amp;&nbsp;2003 : some of these files are more<br />
than 12MB &amp;&nbsp;jams up colleagues' Outlook mailboxes.<br />
<br />
On analysing these Word docs, they contain massive-sized<br />
csv (Comma separated value) Excel-like files: as these csv<br />
files are text, I thought if I could zip them up, reinsert the<br />
zipped csv files into the Word docs, then it would make the<br />

Is it possible to insert zip files in Word docs such that the<br />

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
