I have a merge main document that is only 114kb. When I merge it with 35
records it becomes 3mb!! Anyone know if that is normal? Is there anyway to
reduce the size?

(This is Word 2000 - but I'll be upgrading to 2003 soon, if that makes any
difference)

TIA,
- Jeff

What's 35 x 114kb? That is what I would expect.

Yeah - two seconds after I posted that I did the math. Thanks for the reply
and sorry for wasting your time.
