Try copying all but the last paragraph mark of the larger document into a
new document and save that. Does that make it smaller?

Are they both saved as docx format or is the larger one doc?

Hi folks!

Can someone explain the following?

Document 1: 14 pages long, 5824 words, text only, 69 kb in size.

Document 1: only 4 pages long, only 897 words, text only, *1.1 megs
in size*
Both documents are school papers so they are formatted identically.

Question: How can I go about finding out what is causing the
bloating in the second document so I can cut it back down to a
reasonable size? Thanks in advance to all you Sherlock Holmes' out
there who will no
doubt come back to me "elementary, my dear Carmen...!" :-)
