I am creating a Word document (our Annual Report) in which I will have many
charts and graphs that were created in Excel. Currently, there will be at
least 26 graphs/charts in the document.

In the past, there have apparently been problems with not having enough
space to save the Word document because it gets too big. The document itself
is only about 36 pages, but, as I mentioned, within the 36 pages are at least
26 graphs and charts. I'm looking for a way to copy the graphs/charts into
Excel without it taking so much memory.

One solution we thought of was to only paste the graph/chart once we know
the data will not change, and to paste it in without any links. However, I
can't figure out how to do this.

Because the graphs/charts are so complicated, and have so much data, they
seem to be too big.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what I could do about this? What's the
best way to copy the charts/graphs into Word?

We are using Excel and Word 2000 if that makes a difference.
