Hi,
I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for on the archive even though I
vaguely remember similar topics being raised on this issue.
The problem:
one of the engineers asked me if I knew why a table (a graphic? he wasn't
sure) made in Excel and imported to Word caused a 50 k
doc file to increase to over 1 meg in size?
