If images are not linked they get embedded into the document. Many <g class="gr_ gr_47 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del" id="47" data-gr-id="47">e-Mail</g> clients, including Outlook, see such embedded images as a potential security risk and do display them correctly.</p> <p>Microsoft Word allows you to link to an image. &nbsp;It is recommended to link to an image instead of adding the entire image to the Word file. &nbsp;This can be helpful especially if you are using many large images with many different documents, or many times in the same document. Also if an image changes often, you only have one image which needs to be changed once, instead of updating the image in each document whenever it changes.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;How to link to an image in DocumentsCorePack templates:&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>1) </strong>Open your Microsoft Word and navigate to <span style="color: #4f81bd; font-size: 24px;">❶</span> <strong>Insert</strong> and click on the <span style="color: #4f81bd; font-size: 24px;">❷</span> <strong>[Pictures]</strong>-button.
