Saving Style Embed data in document: Images can be saved within a document, but this increases file size, and any changes to the original images are not reflected.
Embed original file reference: The document store a reference to the image file. This reduces file size, but you have to be careful when shifting a file to ensure the referenced file is accessable.
Export image and embed file reference: As above, except that the file is shifted (maybe to a central location) and may have its file name, type and attributes changed to the selected values
