Is cropping in Adobe file-size efficient?

My experience is that it does OK... since PostScript files can contain
embedded bitmaps, if you have a large bitmap and you crop it there's a
significant file size reduction, whereas if the PostScript file is a handful
of "drawing"-type command along with a large "library" of utility routines,
cropping doesn't change the file size much at all... since all the bulk is in
the library routines, I suppose.

I was thinking you didn't necessarily want the entire drawing embedded within
a Word document, even if it was cropped to the view you desire... but if
that's OK, I think that approach probably is the easiest.
