Subject:Re: Is Microsoft Word a hog? From:Dave Whelan <agi259 -at- FREENET -dot- MB -dot- CA> Date:Thu, 19 Jun 1997 12:15:59 -0500
Carl asked: Anyone else have any solutions (for reducing MS files)
You are right, Microsoft Word is a hog , and it's getting more hog-like all
the time.
I have been converting Word97 files to Word6 because that's what my client
uses. Typically they are at least 1/3 smaller than the originals. That might
be a way you could reduce your review files for quicker transmission.
Regards,
Dave.
