Size of an .RTF File After Inserting an Image

Hello, Haajee and a salaam aleichem (sp?) to you.

I am not sure that using an RTF file will get you anywhere. Microsoft apps are notorious for bloating files up where graphics are involved. Adding a 20K JPG-type file to a typical Word document makes the document grow by over 100K because the JPG image gets converted to a very-incompressible bitmap file.

Why do you want to use Rich Text anyway? Is this an ONLINE help file or will it be printed? Must you EMBED the graphics in the file, or can you link to them in another directory on the computer?

With a few more details, we might be able to set you on a better path.

Regards thanks.

I will send more details soon.

Kind regards.

I am sorry that I could not understand your COMPLIMENTS & my reply was not like yours.

My reply is "May God bless you !!!!!!!!!! ... !!!!

Now some about the topic.

1. "Why do you want ... "

You judged the correct intention of my trial.

I know the compctness of HTML files. In most of the programs give in html format.

As far as formated-text is concerned it is quite simple to be saved / written in an .rtf file.

A reasonable size of file; can be written/ opened /edited by Windows Wordpad.

But where an image is involved my chioce remains an .MHT [mhtml] file; as images & text format

remains in-tact in a single file.

An HTML file makes a folder for images & scripts like:

Original file:

A-level Computing-Print version - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks.htm

and the folder for images & scripts etc:

A-level Computing-Print version - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks_files

The problem is if I like to send by E-mail only file is attatched.

If I attatch .MHT file at least my Mail client ie On-line Mail-client does not recognise

it with the recipient's side.

I therefore was trying to have a solution.

PDF file is also the chioce, but I have to consider the capabillity of others to whom I contact.

I am thankful to you for advice.

Waa Alaikum Salaam = And blessings of God to you too!!!

Note: In transliteration of Arabic## words there in no standard format, as in "salaam aleichem".

ch = k in some coutries but K= as in Kin, Kid; but ch= as in chat, chapter etc

[ ## & Arabic-based languages like URDU, Persian etc etc]

Sorry I have gone off-the -topic.

It seems we have two possibilities to explore -

Option "A" - Create a document of some type with the images EMBEDDED in it, that is viewable by the average user, and also emailable with no loss of image, but whose size may become unmanageable, or

Option "B' - Create a document with "linked" images that is smaller than Option "A" document, but may not email well because of the linked images being "off-site", so to speak.

Have you explored the options of 3rd party software such as RoboHelp? I am not personally familar with their intracacies but they may be able to produce files with smaller footprints than option "A". The only other choice I can suggest is perhaps using Powerpoint to see if your pages become smaller than with RTF type.

BTW, you recognize the mountain in my avatar, I hope. Pakistan's most awe-inspiring area...

Thanks & Regards.

I will try to see all options.

Oh !!!!! thanks to invite my attention to your avatar; that is K2 & surroundings.

Thanks
