Of course I've turned it off!!

But I'd already killed a 50 page doc!!! It's so big now (didn't realise that
was happening with the size until it was too late) that I can hardly open it.

Saving as HTML and back into Doc didn't change the size at all.

Is word meant to save both styles?? Is there a fix for this?

Hi ?B?QUw=?=,

Using word 2002 - when I go "undo automatically update style" my file size
doubles and I can't seem to get it back to a useable size.
One got to over 100M (from original 2K)!!

I'm guessing that Word is saving both sets of style information in the file.
If you save to HTML, open, resave as a doc does that make any difference?

If you don't want Word to automatically update styles, why don't you turn off
the option?
