40.1.1 Graphics
formats for Word documents
WMF
or BMP
Use WMF or BMP for bitmap graphics for
Word. If you choose WMF, see §40.1.3
WMF format limitations.
256
colors
Word
graphics typically use 256 colors, sometimes more. It is best to stick
with 256 colors, because the size increase for 24-bit color (“true
color”, the only other real option) is more than 10 times, which
can make files too big for Word to load.
