Quick Ideas regarding a Word file that seems to grow in size as content is
removed:
1. Turn off Allow Fast Saves (Tools > Options > Save Tab). This saves a
current document plus a record of all changes,instead of saving the changed
file. It can just keep growing and growing.
2. Try doing a Save As and giving the file a different name. This should get
rid of the Undo and other information that Word often saves.
