Hi Darren,

Do you have 'fast saves' on (see under Tools|Options|Save)? If so, that causes Word to store all the old edits in the file as well.
If it is on, and you turn it off, your document could quite dramatically decrease in size.

Cheers

Hi Everyone,

I am having trouble shrinking the size of a Word Document. The
document is currently a huge 199MB in size. However, even if I delete
ALL of the data in the document, save and re-open it, it only goes
down to 197MB.

What am I missing here? Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

Darren
