Saving from .dotx to .docx - file becomes huge!!
Hello!
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 |

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?

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!

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