Files consist of more than just the visible content. Your first file may
have become bloated - you didn't give the file size of Test1.doc. Here are
some things to check, quoted from previous posts of MVP Suzanne S. Barnhill:

************** Begin Quote **************



There are a number of reasons for excessive file size, including:



1. Fast Saves: Disable this at on the Save tab of Tools | Options.



2. Preview Pictu Clear the check box on the Summary tab of File |

Properties.



3. Versions (File | Versions): Make sure "Automatically save version on

close" is not turned on.



4. Revisions (Tools | Track Changes):

Highlight Changes: Make sure "Highlight changes on screen" is turned on

(or that "Final Showing Markup" is displayed).

Accept/Reject Changes: If "Accept All" or "Reject All" is available then

revisions are present; accept or reject all changes, then turn Track Changes

off.



5. Embedded True Type fonts (Tools | Options | Save); embedding fonts should

be avoided wherever possible.



6. Embedded graphics: When feasible, it is preferable to link the graphics.

That is, when you insert the graphic, click the arrow beside Insert in the

Picture dialog and choose Link to File rather than Insert or Insert and

Link.



7. Embedded objects: These are even worse than ordinary graphics saved with

the document. If you see an { EMBED } code, the graphic is an OLE object.

Unless you need to be able to edit the object in place, unlink it using

Ctrl+Shift+F9.



8. File format: Make sure you are saving as a Word document; in some cases

..rtf (Rich Text Format) files are significantly larger than .doc files.



9. Document corruption: See

Smart tags may also be an issue. These can be removed on the Smart Tags tab

of Tools | AutoCorrect Options.

I have one 30 mb file named 'Test.doc' with some contents stored under
network drive .When i tried to open the 'Test.doc' document from the
shared
drive it is taking 12 minutes to open .With same contents of 'Test.doc' i
created another new document named 'test1.doc' and stored under same
network
drive.

When i tried to open the 'Test1.doc' document from the shared drive it
is taking only 4 minutes to open .Does anyone have any idea about why it
is
happening ? eventhough contents of test.doc
