 JB> I tried a test, using Word95.  I opened a word document (just
 JB> over three pages, all text, 12-point Times Roman), then saved it
 JB> in RTF format.  The RTF version wound up considerably smaller:
 JB> Document.doc    19,456
 JB> Document.rtf    12,445
 JB> 
  Interesting.  However, I have heard that the size of *.doc may be
  large because it is carrying all of the previous versions as well.
  You might try importing the rtf document and saving as a new name (or
  perhaps any save-as of a *.doc would strip out all of the updates, not
  sure).
  Another question might be -- what is the effect of graphics (table
  lines etc).
