template file size
Working on a custom template in Word 2003 pro I was making numerous changes
to styles including defining new styles and deleting others. I have noticed that eventually saving my file got sluggish and the 4 pages template file size grew to almost 60 Mb (yes, no error here). It looks as if it keeps a cumulative track of all the changes made. What am I doing wrong? -- JanAdam |

One of the good parts about Word 2003 _pro_ is, you have now one of the best save options available: save your file as *.xml, close, reopen, save again as *.dot. This round-trip cleans out a lot of old stuff. [I'm not sure it cleans out unused list templates, so if you have used and changed a lot of numbered styles w/o naming the list templates, you might end up with many of those in the file, and there aren't any ways to scratch those out, even by VBA, as I am told.] HTH Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |
