Word 2000 - file size explods

My doc was 733KB and contains some inserts of small gif photos. All of a sudden I opened the doc to make some text changes and I start getting the message "There is not enough memory or disk space to display or print the picture".
I made a small text change and saved the doc and now it is 3.5MB in size! and I cannot see or display any of the embedded gifs?
What happen? Is there any way to recover the doc?
Thanks!

I can't advise how to undo the damage. But it's a good rule to use [Save As] to create a backup copy of an important document before you start doing something extra to it.
