Actually it can be a lot less. Anything down to a third of the size. Using Stylist for instance, rather than formatting on the fly affects that quite dramatically. I copied and pasted that document unformatted and then used stylist to do the formatting. The file is now 16.0 KB. Problem is, with storage being the price it is these days it's not so critical as it once was, however in a large organisation that handle and move a lot of documents over a network, such things can be very significant.. -- Graham Lauder, OpenOffice.org MarCon (Marketing Contact) NZ http://marketing.openoffice.org/contacts.html INGOTs Moderator New Zealand www.theingots.org.nz GET DRESSED : GET OOOGEAR Gear for the well dressed OOo Advocate www.ooogear.co.nz --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
