Word Document has grown HUGE
Hello:
I created a Word document (actually using the Mac version of Office 2004) and sent it to someone (PC user.) This document is about three pages of text only, no graphic, save a header. The document when it left my computer was about 137k. There were a few comments in it as well. My colleague added some changes with the track changes feature. We're not talking anything substantial, and the document is still only three pages. He even removed the header, because the file size had gotten so large. It is now 4.3 Megs. Why? Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi ?B?SmFzb24=?=,
I created a Word document (actually using the Mac version of Office 2004) and sent it to someone (PC user.) This document is about three pages of text only, no graphic, save a header. The document when it left my computer was about 137k. There were a few comments in it as well. My colleague added some changes with the track changes feature. We're not talking anything substantial, and the document is still only three pages. He even removed the header, because the file size had gotten so large. It is now 4.3 Megs. Most likely, there's some structural damage in the document. This could have been already present when you handed it over, or it may have something to do with the MAC doc being opened on the PC. See if copying all but the last paragraph mark to a new document makes any difference?

Actually, the solution was pretty easy. I just "saved as" (the exact same
document) and the new version was 58k....so somehow the resave fixed the problem. Thanks for your help.
