An AppleScript to reduce large Word file sizes
Authored by: dhayton on May 21, '03 10:27:11AM

Isn't the problem of growing MS Word files related to the preference "Allow fast saves"? This certainly used to be the case, and when you deselected the "Allow fast saves" (in the "Save" preferences) the file sizes remained reasonable.

I must confess that I haven't experienced the problem of growing file sizes for some time (this preference was the key to the problem in MS Word 5.1 through 98 in OS 9). I use Word quite a lot and some of my chapters are in the neighborhood of 15-20 MB once all the pictures and figures are added. I might add that this is just the size I would expect when adding the file sizes of the various illustrations and the text itself.

Am I lucky, or are my files still too small to notice a difference?

Best,
darin
