Default High Res Image as Watermark - Keeping file size down?

Hi all,

I have a client who needs me to place his letterhead into word so he can type over the top (it is a property company and the detail over the top is for each property).

To achieve this in the past with Letterheads I have simply placed a JPEG of the letterhead in the Word document as a watermark.

However there have been some issues with quality on this one, and to get the desired level of quality the image I am placing in is a 5mb jpg.

There is a main header and a run on header meaning the end Word document is now 9mb which the client needs to be lower.

How can I get the outcome I need of the images in the word document at a high quality but without the huge Word Doc file size?!

I considered placing a pdf as an object instead of an image - would that work??

Thanks!
