MS Office Forum / Publisher / General MS Publisher Questions / November 2004file size
creating a newsletter, deleted all extra content, deleted all pics (as werent depixalized when initially added and are HUGE) and the publisher file is STILL 65 meg! what does publisher do to text and pics to create such an unmanageable file...and, how can i make the file smaller? thanks Which version of Publisher are you using? Do you want the file size smaller so you can send it via email or post it on a web? If so, consider turing it into a .pdf.

I am working with a file that is 65 meg and no idea how it got so big. Another person took an existing publisher file and edited it - adding a lot of large pics - i removed all the images and deleted the extra content...still too big to manage...and only 8 pages.

Try copying the articles and pasting them into a new document. Another thing you might try is pasting them into notepad to strip out all the extra formatting, and then paste them into a new document in publisher.

An known bug which was fixed in Publisher 2003. SignatureBrian Kvalheim Microsoft Publisher MVP http://www.publishermvps.com ~pay it forward~ This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. Has anyone got a url that describes this being fixed in Publisher 2003 before I consider buying it, or even better something that describes a fix in Publisher 2002? I've got the same problem in Publisher 2002 (SP3 and Windows XP SP2). It isn't the problem described in KB 279368 as the document is neither a catalog, a web page, nor a newsletter and there's no extra content. I've got a 4 page document that grows to 170MB as graphics are inserted. If I delete the content from all four pages it goes down to 100MB. If I delete three of the four pages it stays at 100MB. Clever stuff! > || creating a newsletter, deleted all extra content, deleted > || all pics (as werent depixalized when initially added and [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > An known bug which was fixed in Publisher 2003. I've been working on a newsletter with Pub 2003 and the problem is still there. I replaced a high resoution picture a few times and the filesize has grown from a few megabytes to over 80 megabytes. It is very unweidy to work with as saves take a long time. I'm hoping there is a fix or procedure that can reduce the filesize back to normal. > Has anyone got a url that describes this being fixed in Publisher 2003 > before I consider buying it, or even better something that describes a fix [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > > > An known bug which was fixed in Publisher 2003. If you are planning to email your newsletter out consider converting it to a pdf file. The best pdf converting program for making the smallest file size is PDF-XChange. It comes in a "lite" version which goes for about $20. It comes in three versions, "Lite", "Standard" and "Pro". If interested, you can get a trial version at: http://www.docu-track.com/ There are also free pdf programs, i.e., Primopdf and pdf995 but I have no experience with them except they can't match the file size of PDF-XChange. (Neither can Adobe Acrobat). SignatureDon Vancouver, USA > I've been working on a newsletter with Pub 2003 and the problem is still > there.

LarryD, Though the problem with storing JPG files in a uncompressed format in the Pub file was addressed in Publisher 2003, perhaps this article about storing Extra Content in the Design Gallery in Publisher 2000 will help: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;218725 DavidF > I've been working on a newsletter with Pub 2003 and the problem is still > there.

SignatureBrian Kvalheim Microsoft Publisher MVP http://www.publishermvps.com ~pay it forward~ This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. Sure can. Let me know where to upload it (I guess I should probably zip it, if it will compress ok). thanks. > Hi LarryD (LarryD@discussions.microsoft.com), > in the newsgroups [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > I cannot replicate your problem using Publisher 2003.
