Converted Word file grows enormously

2007-07-27 Thread Alan Litchfield
Another thought. Is there Word art used anywhere, or any graphics that have been drawn within Word? These use proprietary compression algorithms, which may be decompressed to illustrate their true size. Or, are there special characters (say, embedded math) that are being converted graphics?

It would be great if the future FM versions support the Arabic / Persian languages. Presently, we are forcing the FM to create Arabic language by using a Mirrored method, together with customised fonts. It's difficult but still workable as compared to Indesign ME. :) - Ric - Original
