Hi,

I have a Word 2003 template which file size is over 1 MB. Is there anyway to
reduce the size to ~500KB before giving it to users? Any feedback is welcome.

Thank you,

will

Guess we need to know what exactly is creating the large size. Number of
pages? VBA code? Graphics?

What happens if you do a SaveAs to a new document?
