Hi :) Yeh, if a document can stay in LibreOffice/OpenOffice then Svg and Eps seems to help with file-size quite a lot and gives a much better result but it is still too rare to be able to do that. 'My' company's newsletter benefits from scalar vector graphics but almost everything else still needs to work in MS Office too. Even 'my' company's website seems to need to avoid Svgs and Epses. Regards from Tom :)
