You should not use Insert Object menu to add JPEG picture files

in Adding Pictures, OLE objects

This note is for those who know how to use the Insert Object menu to insert OLE objects in WhizFolders.

As a rule, you should not use the “Insert Object” menu to add JPEG picture files. Why? The JPEG pictures or files take enormous space as OLE objects. If you try that in any application like Wordpad or WhizFolders, it may appear to hang because it takes too much time to insert that object.

Instead, use the Insert Picture menu and WhizFolders allows you to reduce the JPEG size (by reducing the quality) that works much quicker and in many cases, you may not notice the difference in quality. You can also try Copy and Paste.
