Inserting my photos into Word document

I am putting together a document of my family history and want to insert some photos I've taken into it. But the photos are each about 2.2MB - 2.9 MB and when I copied & pasted the photos into the Word doc the Word doc ended up at 124MB! W/out these photos the Word doc is 11MB!
These are photos I've taken and are in my iPhoto. I've inserted other photos for which I don't have the original so I've scanned these and then inserted into the doc - they are much smaller and range from 24KB to 264KB depending on the size of the original. How do I get around this problem?
Many thanks

Terence
Again thanks for yr advice. Having played around with the various options you gave in yr response to my other posting, I think the best method for me inserting my photos in the Word doc is to export to desktop as that way I can alter the size of the file.
By scaling the photo to a smaller size, the file size is much smaller. I found if I just dragged the photo to the desktop and then into my Word doc, then the photo was still about 2.2MB. By scaling it down as it was exported, and then dragging into Word doc it was only 224KB.
Does this approach sound right to you?

  • Photos don't show up in media browser when I want to insert a photo into Word

    I'm fully updated in Yosemite (10.10.3) on an iMac (recently purchased).  Photos updated just the other day and I chose iCloud for storage.  When I try to insert a photo into my Word document no photos show up in the media sidebar "photos" nor in the media browser on Word.  My photolibrary is visible under "Pictures" in the sidebar, but it is grayed out. How can I link the sidebar "Media =>Photos" or un-gray it on the pictures?

    Sounds like more of a question for the Mail experts. Once the file is added to the Mail message it's not really anything to do with iPhoto.

  • Can no longer see my I-photo photos, when trying to insert photo into Word Document.

    I had some computer problems and did upgrade to Snow Leopard from Leopard. Using older MacBook Pro. 
    Now, when I try to insert a picture into a Word Document, I cannot see my photos!
    I am working in a word document, I choose "Insert Photo from my files" and when the window comes up so I can choose the photo to insert... when I select the "photos" choice under the Media section on the Left side of the box that comes up, the box to the right is BLANK, both on the top and bottom!  None of my photos come up for selection. 
    This method to choose photos to insert into documents used to work before... now it is not.  After selecting "photos" all my photos would appear in the right box, and I would move through my I-photo events to choose my saved photo and insert it.  Yes, photos are showing and present in I-photo.  They just won't appear for importing.
    This is so frustrating, not to mention time comsuming trying to figure out what is going on and how to fix it.
    Can anyone help? Please?

    I do not see a way to disable the Picture Frame icon.  I looked at Settings-Picture Frame, but none of the options turns it off.  The only way I can thinik of, would be if all of your photos had been deleted.  If there were no photos, you couldn't have a slide show!
    One thing to try is to reset (reboot) your iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • Inserting photo into word document with new Yosemite OS X

    iPhoto has gone away after downloading the new Yosemite OS X program.  Now it is Photos.  I am attempting to drag or insert a picture into a word document for work.  Unlike the old iPhoto, double clicking on the photo does not allow me to "Copy" so I may then "Paste" on my document.  In addition, when I attempt to drag the picture onto the document where I want it, the picture goes right back to the photo library.  Tried pretty much everything I know and my tech guys from work.  Anyone have this problem or know of the solution?

    My photos are not in/on iCloud. In Microsoft Word 2011 I can use
         Insert > Photo > Picture from File ...
    and then navigate to the my 'Pictures' folder and insert a picture successfully.
    Can't find a direct way of going from Photos to Word. In practice, this is not a big issue for me because in most cases I want to reduce the size of the image, which I do by selecting the image(s) I want in Photos.app, then switch to Preview.app, command-N (New from clipboard). Once in Preview.app I can transfer images to Word by drag and drop from the thumbnails, etc. The neat thing about this workflow is one can select several images in Photos at once and have them all open in Preview with one keystroke.

  • Insert IPA symbols into Word document

    Hi,
    Does anyone know what is required to insert IPA symbols into a Word (v. X) document. The type of symbols I'm looking for can be found here, but I can't get them into my Word documents. I'm afraid I'm missing some special font or symbol library, but I have no idea which ones. Does anyone know what I might need to get symbols into my documents? Thanks very much.

    The openoffice spreadsheets work and when I save them
    as .xls files and open them in NeoOffice they still
    work, but if I open them in Word v. X I get no
    symbols. However, if I open the NeoOffice created
    files in 2004 I have no problems whatsoever. So I
    think for my local stuff I'll use NeoOffice, but I'll
    have to get Word 2004 to interact with my co-workers.
    There is nothing you can do to make this work with WordX, which is not compatible with Unicode IPA. Getting Word2004 will not help. If your co-workers only have WordX, then you have to also use WordX yourself and download the special non-Unicode fonts from SIL. WordX and Word2004 use two different standards for what codes generate what symbols. And the standard used by WordX is obsolete, or almost so.

  • Adding photo to Word Document

    The previous Photo Library allowed you to drag and drop your photo from the Photo Software straight into Word 2011.
    'Photos' doesn't seem to allow me to do this.
    And then when I go into word and try to insert a photo into the document the proper (long) way I can no longer browse the photos in the 'Photos' library its not an option...
    How can I use access my photos to use in Word now? ...
    Anyone else had this problem / have a solution or suggestion?

    I'm having the same problem too after updating to latest version of Yosemite, with iphotos I could drag and drop to programs such as Pages, Thunderbird email messages, Garage Sale etc but with Photos I can find no way of doing this, I think it is a Photos issue rather than another program needing a update otherwise you would think it would work with Pages also being Apple?
    Basic workaround I am using is instead of importing from memory card to Photos I import to a folder in Finder window instead and then I can drag and drop without a problem although this then makes photos app redundant
    It is a shame as that was a great feature on iPhotos and hope they update soon

    Are you using the Word Report Generation instrument? You can find it in toolslib\activex\word\wordreport.fp under the CVI directory.
    The instrument comes with a sample project that shows how to include table and graphs in a Word document: see samples\activex\word\wordrpt.cws in the samples foder of your CVI installation.
    Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

    Hello,
    Try this out:
    (1) Copy program DD_ADD_PICTURE into your own version called ZDD_ADD_PICTURE. Make sure
    you select all the checkboxes (including GUI Status and screens).
    (2) Paste the modified code at the end of this reply into your ZZ_ADD_PICTURE program.
    (3) Run ZZ_ADD_PICTURE for a range of Icons (e.g. enter Icon name ICON_IN* on the selection screen)
    (4) When you get the result list, type in ok-code EXPO directly in the ok-code
    field (you could also add a button for this function in the GUI status).
    (5) Download all the displayed icons as .gif files into a Windows folder
    that you have created to hold the icon .gif files (e.g. C:SAPICONS)
    (6) Now you can work with the icon files as you would any .gif file. (e.g. In a Word doc, use menu path
    Insert -> Picture -> From file.)

  • Inserting a 2 page word document - captivate 4

    Hello All,
    I have created an eLearning module for a client, and they are requesting i attach or insert their Terms and Conditions of Use document to the module, which will have to be printed and signed by their users.  It's a 2 page word document with a ton of information on it.  Anyone have any input or ideas for me?
    Linking isn't really going to be an option for me...This is something i'm going to have to embed in the module.
    It looks like someone asked for help with something like this years ago and didn't get anywhere.  Hope you guys can hook me up.
    Thanks!

    There isn't really any good way to insert a two page word document into a Captivate project to be honest. The best way would be to convert it to a PDF and have it open in a new window when the user clicks a button in Captivate.
    Alternatively you could use a widget that allows you to insert a large text and use scroll bars to navigate the content. Chris Dorna create a widget like that - http://www.dorna.nl/?p=338 - but putting a two page document into this would be a disaster seen from an instructional design perspective. Also I have no clue on how to get it printed and signed.
    In my view the best solution would be to break up the two pages into more accessible chunks of information over several slides. On the last slide of this text you can have the user "digitally" sign that they read and understood it and then have a widget send an email to the HR department or relevant person that would recieve the regular printed copies. Of course it would require a custom widget and also access to either PHP or ASP on the server where the content is being delivered from.

  • Illustrator JPGs turn into Black box when pasted into Word documents

    I have made JPGs of my letter headding to paste into Word documents. When I paste them they look like a big black box. It doesn't even seem consistant, sometimes it works mostly it doesn't. How can I fix this issue?

    How are you "pasting" them? If you are exporting JPG from Illustrator use Worst's Insert > Picture > From File. PNG would probably be a better option for your export, though.

    You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc  files,  yes it needs to be saved manually.
    You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
    Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one.  Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11'

  • Turning PDF Documents into Word Documents

    Can I use my Adobe Creative Suite 6 to turn PDF documents into Word Documents?

    Acrobat comes with most versions of Creative Suite and it is capable of converting PDFs to Word documents. The quality of the results depend on a number of things. If the PDF was originally generated from a Word source and it's well tagged, you will get much better results. More complicated layouts will generally have worse results and there will be considerable cleanup in Word needed. Exporting to text is sometimes better.
