How about suggesting that such docs should be exported into HTML (which Word is capable of doing, IIRC) before emailing? It would be nice if the creator could look at the HTML in a browser to verify that it looks OK. of course, the browser is likely to be IE 32-bit... > I do think that there's a valid point here nevertheless - saving ink on > rather useless images, even if sometimes appropriate, is a good practice. > Kids should be taught the same as well. > A war story: some years ago I was teaching at Haifa U, and before each lecture I would post the slides on a website. After a couple of lectures some students approached me and asked to remove the university logo from the slides - it turned out that it was heavy and slow to print even in black and white, on a university (let alone home) printer. I complied, of course, and my slides remained logoless for years. -- Oleg Goldshmidt | o...@goldshmidt.org
