  Well, as every formula and picture is an embedded object in Word and
PowerPoint, basically any book or longer presentation would have as much. 
Any engineering university thesis has hundreds. (And they are almost
impossible to manage in Word).
 
  And as KWord has desktop publishing features, most newsletters,
magazines etc have 50 thingy's which will be embedded parts.
