TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
With all this talk of relative paths and linking graphics, can someone tell
me what the advantage of linking graphics is? I'd guess the obvious is
reduced file size. But what size files are you talking about? What
size/types of graphics? Are they screen captures, tech. illustrations,
etc.? Is this for print doc. or online?
The reason I ask is because I've never had a problem with just doing an
Insert, Picture, and inserting actual graphics as wmfs, epss, or bmps.
(Well, bitmaps do get kinda heavy. . . ) Just curious.
