    Hi,

    When you save a Microsoft Word document that contains an EMF, PNG, GIF, or JPEG graphic as a different file format, the file size of the document may dramatically increase.

    Try to follow these steps to check:

      • Quit Word.
      • Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
      • Locate and then click to select one of the following registry keys
      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Options
    1. After you select the key that is specified in step 3, point to New on the Edit menu, and then click String.
    2. Type ExportPictureWithMetafile, and then press ENTER.
    3. Right-click ExportPictureWithMetafile, and then click Modify.
    4. In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
    5. On the File menu, click Exit to quit Registry Editor.

    Exit Word if it is running. Then hold the Windows logo key as you press R; in the Run dialog box, type winword /safe and press Enter (note the space before the slash).

    This is a very old thread. You'll have to provide more information. Your best option is to start a new thread and describe the specific issue you have encountered. Also state your version of Word and Windows.
