Then they don't need to be resized within the document. A 1mb image is pretty big at its native resolution, the object is to get it sized so that no resizing within the document is required. Then the attached images will be as small as they can be and still look good. Of course, .doc is not really a great way to put something up on the web anyway, but that's a different story and I'm surely not telling you anything you don't already know.
