Prince of Calcutta Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 just a thought.. sometimes when you keep saving your changes the file size increases.. try using file>save as and save it under a different name and see if the size reduces .. and let me know if it does ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter e Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 Is this any good, Tony - a filter and other tricks to reduce the size of web pages created in Word. Scroll down for the Word 2002 stuff when you've looked at the other gubbins. Word MVP site(Don't tell anyone about this site. It's where I get all the Word tricks and stuff from that impresses people at work). (Is impresses spelt like that? Doesn't look right).Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
