Robert:
Since I am embedding pictures into the BB document as we speak,
I made a quick test. I took an oscilloscope picture that I have
on disk in a .png format. It takes 9 kB on disk. I opened it
under MS Photo Editor. (Part of Office Tools, optionally installed
with Office, you need to specifically ask for it during Office
installation.) I saved the file on disk as .bmp. It grew to 302k.
This .bmp is a Windows bitmap, according to the Photo Editor.
Hope this helps,
W.
