I've been working on a large document (220 pages, 9 MB), mainly changing the
formatting, rearranging paragraphs and deleting comments. The document now
objectively contains less information, but is 60 MB in size. Why is this?

I'm on a Mac, where the "allow fast saves" preference/setting causes
that. It might be the same for you, since it is for ever recording
keystrokes and operations you have performed. Do a save-as. Open the
new one and check the settings. See what happens.

Do you have a lot of graphics? Even the 9meg seems high; I have a 450
page manuscript that is less than 1 meg and I have embedded fonts.
