Hi Rosie,

I imagine the file size would have increased even more if you hadn't cropped the picture. Why the size increase doesn't directly correspond with the size of the original images on disk has to do with the way Word stores them - including whatever compression quality it aims for. If it's aiming for a higher quality than the original (to minimise compression artefacts), that might explain the increase.
