Word templates and images

[DaveGill]

I'm creating some Word 97 templates which include logos as graphic files. The documents created from the templates are to be converted into rtf's for distribution on the web as well as printed from Word.

Does anyone know what the best format to import the logos in (tif, bmp etc) to keep the file size as small as possible when they are saved as rtf's.
The logos are just b&w

Any advice would be great

jpg's or tif's are great for keeping files small, bitmaps tend to get fairly large as the images get larger. Keep in mind though that as a rule of thumb, as you shrink the file size, you also give up quality of the picture, so its kind of a trade off. You can find a good program to compress images, such as a photo or image editor of some sort, there are several out there.
