Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

MS Office Problem

chilli_pepper · 2008-04-09 09:50:24

I have a doc that was 9 MBs , I then went in and made some minor modifications to the text and when I saved it it suddently grew to 18 MBs. It was saved as the exact same type of doc. I am using MS Office Professional 2003 , any advice greatly received.

Do you have a lot of pictures in it ?

one way to shrink a doc would be to save a copy of it as a web page. in the folder you will have two copies of each image, one it's real size and the other smaller one the size displayed in the document. unless you need hi-res printing you could replace the larger images in the original with the smaller ones
