This is offcource totally illiminated when the user is aware that the 
copy is always external.

Again, I'll have to think about this for a bit.

One thing I find is often the case with quark. People import an image
4 times in a document and use it on the front cover in 300 DPI (10cm)
and use it as a thumbnail somewhere else. which makes the resolution 
3000 DPI (because the same image was scaled to 1cm)

These images are printed in whole to the postscript file, often creating
HUGE files. (Think Gigabytes here)

Designers SHOULD rescale the images themselves!! How this is done in kword
stays open for discussion.

The only thing worse than failure is the fear of trying something new
