File size increases greatly when you insert a picture into a Microsoft Project plan
SYMPTOMS
When you insert a picture into a Microsoft Project task, into a Microsoft Project resource, or into a Microsoft Project assignment note and then you save your Microsoft Project plan, the size of your Microsoft Project file may increase more than you expect it to.
CAUSE
The RichEdit control (Riched20.dll) causes this problem. This problem may occur when you insert the picture into another container (for example, a WordPad document) and then you insert that container in your Microsoft Project file. Typically , the RichEdit control stores the container as Rich Text Format (RTF) in your Microsoft Project file so that both the container and the picture can be seen. The size of the RTF information may cause a large increase in file size.
WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, insert the picture directly into your Microsoft Project task, into your Microsoft Project task resource, or into your Microsoft Project task assignment note. To do this, follow these steps:
- In a Microsoft Project task, in a Microsoft Project resource, or in a Microsoft Project assignment note, click Object on the Insert menu.
- In the Insert Object dialog box, click Create from File.
- Click Browse, and then select the picture that you want to insert.
- Click Insert, and then click OK.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Office Project Professional 2003
- Microsoft Project 2002 Standard Edition
- Microsoft Project 2000 Standard Edition
- Microsoft Project 98 Standard Edition

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
