Believe me or not:
Several times tonight your problem did strike me :-)
Even when sitting at the bar down in the local village pub, I thought
about it ..
And I developed another idea for an approach.

I believe You!

No.
This would be just the wrong decision and it would mean just to give up
too soon!!
As has been worked out in this thread, the whole thing in just "one
piece" is too big. For sure.
So lets cut it into digestible pieces (several DOCs, several PDFs,
several ZIPs [BTW: Packing PDFs into a ZIP won't bring much reduction
in size).
Apart from that, my idea simply is to saddle the horse form the other
end:
I assume that it's just the photos being too big. Most probably you use
rather big images and just reduced the size of their *appearance* in
Word.
Right?
As you - *now* say (and what I was sure about before) - "the photos are
small in dimension size" (i.e. showing small in the source
[WinWord-Doc]) but " not sure about the file size", I am pretty sure
that just the *physical* size of the photos is the problem.
My suggestion:
REDUCE the physical size of the images used and then embed them into
the source (WinWord-Doc) again.
Should you not have something like "Photoshop", just use the really
fantastic all-purpose freeware tool IrfanView
www.irfanview.com
Open all of the images (one by one) and reduce the size; adjust the
*physical* size to the size needed in the document and save them (with
a different name [in order to keep the originals untouched]).
Then edit the WinWord document again and replace the current images wit
the reduced ones.
Check the file-size of the resulting document.
Should it still be too big, cu it into pieces and then convert the
parts to PDFs or - if this preferred way is not viable - pack them into
ZIPs.
HTH
If any further questions, pls ask them.
