However, I am entertaining thoughts pulling the embedded graphics out

the embedded figures or alternatively having the graphic images
linked altogether from an allied folder. The first way, it's easier
to format the chapters without having to be concerned about the
graphics taking up so much page (and file) space. If the readers
desire to view the graphics, they can link to them. The Lulu
documents could have their figures embedded prior to being printed.
Please don't do this. It will make things very difficult for the many
readers who have no clue how to deal with linked graphics (and keeping
tracked of an allied folder), as well as for those of us writing the
chapters. Your suggestion is just about the most user-unfriendly idea
I have heard in a long time.
You have made a lot of suggestions recently that seem to me to
unnecessarily complicate what is already a difficult task for many
people, and this is definitely one of them.

Our documents have way too many graphics. Why do we have screen captures
for showing simple tasks? There's too much hand-holding. Our readers are
capable of doing tasks without having to screen capture as many as we
do. There should be a balance, and only screen capture those tasks that
inform, instead of verifying them.
