MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / December 2004mysteriously shrinking template
I have a complex template I've been developing for several months. Recently I noticed it shrank in size from 427k to about 319k between sucessive versions. Since I don't recall any deletions, and since I've been testing each new function as it's been added, so a comprehensive test of all functions would be difficult, I'd like to ask if this could be a result of any sort of "garbage collection" scheme used by Word on it's documents from time to time? The project still compiles, and nothing is obviously missing, but this is certainly a concern. thanks. Chip I think I've found my answer. I've worked on this template on both my home and work systems. I'm at work now, but I see that I've got the save options set to embed linguistic data (whatever that is) and embed smart tags (again, whatever that is). If I've turned them off at home, which I did just now, those 2 options alone account for 80k or so of the missing data. There's probably something else similar I've got set differently between the 2 systems (not TT fonts however) that will account for the rest. thanks anyway.
