This is called "ballooning" and is all too common in Word and PowerPoint.
(It's worst in Win98, better in later versions.) Fortunately it's easy to
remedy.

Save your file under a new name (e.g., just add "b" to the end of the
filename), then save it back under the original name. You may need to do this
2 or 3 times to reduce the file to its "real" size.
