Default Saving from .dotx to .docx - file becomes huge!!

Then just delete that template and start over with a new one.

Hi Peter -- I've had the same problem when just clicking the .dotx. This
is how I first found the problem, thought it could be remedied by
selecting the template when I start a new document but no luck!

What happens if you create the same document simply using normal.dotx,
i.e. don't select a template when you start a new document?

I've created a word template (about 150kb) and every time I start a
new
document (just text with one small logo in the header) and save out as
a
word doc, the file becomes HUGE (about 7,700kb). I feel like this
shouldn't be happening as the content is nearly identical.

Any idea on why this is happening and how I can fix it?

For reference, I am creating a new document, choosing my created
template, editing with new content and then saving the document. This
is
also ONLY happening on PC and not MAC.

HELP!

Thanks -
