I am creating PDF versions of several PPT presentations in version 2003.  I am using File > Send To > Microsoft Word with the "notes below slides" arrangement.
 
The resulting Word and PDF files are HUGE for a short presentation.  I see that the small slide images are actually embedded PowerPoint objects that I can double click on and edit.
 
How do I flatten these embedded objects down in Word to just an image?  (Preferably without taking a screenshot of them and pasting them back in.
 
Hopefully that makes sense!

From PowerPoint, click File > Send To Word.
Instead of selecting Paste, select Paste link.
In Microsoft Word, select the objects, click Edit > Links. Click Break Link
and this will convert the objects into images.

Alternately, check out the Slide Into Word Add-in which allows you to
convert PowerPoint slides into Word with smaller output document size:

I have Office 2007. Want to break the link to the slides I have in my word
doc. I can't find any comparable way to do this from your instructions for
2003. When I right click the slide, I only get open or edit, or convert.
Could you help me locate the add-in I need for Word?
