Hi Ben,

Unfortunately using the Tools=Options=Save choice to
disable features not supported in Word 97
may actually increase the file size slightly in
Word 2003 when using tables.

Word 97 has been on the market 8+ years now.
Counting the development and beta time it's close
to being a decade old

...I was hoping for some "table lite" or "Save as Word 97 doc" feature,
but it doesn't look like there's such a thing. Thanks again for the
replies.
