Pictures

Display pictures turns the display of pictures in a document on or off. If the check box is switched on, pictures will be displayed. You may wish not to have pictures displayed while you are editing the document in order to scroll through the document more quickly.

Embed pictures

Usually pictures are embedded in documents so that when you save the document, a copy of the picture is saved as part of it. You may prefer to have the picture referenced by your documents. The main advantage of this is that it saves hard disc space. But referencing has the disadvantage that it is harder to move documents around.

To reference pictures, turn the Embed pictures option off.
