Way off topic for a nature forum, but I'm hoping somebody here may have experience with a Flir thermographic camera in another aspect of their work.
My wife uses it in her work and they are having a great deal of difficulty writing reports and including thermoscans in Microsoft Word. The files are much too large to open in Office 2000.
Any hints gratefully accepted. Please contact me off list.

If they're image files, why not bring them into PhotoShop and reduce the resolution (and therefore file size) to something that Office can handle?

Paul,
It is turning into one of those mysteries of computers. My wife has Office 2000 at work and we have 2003 at home. So we thought that might be the difference. We then thought it might be memory as I have more to run graphics applications.
Flir software which has a template for Word, allows users to adjust the images, similar to a Flash presentation, by means of macros. As the camera and software are new to her office, it would appear to be the learning curve trick. People were throwing on macros without informing colleagues or having any knowledge of what they did, resulting in pages opening only on my machine due to the amount of memory.
The choice is now to go through the documents and remove extraneous macros or start fresh. I don't regard it as a good sign she loaded the software on my machine over lunch!
