You mean purging word docs, try search google using that phrasing instead
of compressing. If you just wanted to save disk space and have them load
faster then turn on NTFS compression. With NTserver and NTworkstation the
compressed file is transmitted across the network in compressed format then
decompressed at the workstation so it will actually load faster especially
on a busy network.
