RE: Bloated MS Word File

["Lauren" <lauren -at- writeco -dot- net>]

I usually copy and repaste the graphics as something smaller than what they
are, but I don't remember which format I prefer.  That usually reduces the
filesize.  You might also want to see if you have any macros stored with the
document that could be taking up more space than necessary, since the
document is from an older version of Word.
