I believe doing a "Save As..." achieves the same result...

Yes, Save As... works, but you have to use a different file name.

An AppleScript to reduce large Word file sizes
Authored by: NovaScotian on May 21, '03 02:55:08PM

Interesting: I never allow fast saves, so I ran two large documents through this script and surprisingly, both came out larger than they went in: 44K -> 48K, and 108K -> 150K
Wow!

Stops Crashes Too!

I've long been doing this to stop Word from crashing. Doing this can help a lot when a file always hangs with a spinning cursor! Save As does not achive the same results.
