Hi Laurie,
Are you saving your Word document with Allow Fast Saves turned on? Look
under Tools>Options>Save. If you turn off fast saves, copy your document
to a new file, and save it you may reduce the size of your file. Fast
saves just tacks the new file information on to the old stuff.
I hope this helps.
