The problem is that "link" is unchecked by default in 2007, and I don't see an option to keep it turned on. It's very easy to forget it when working quickly -- and since no other graphics program forgets to remove deleted graphics, how could have guessed? The April score had 25 images, and it only takes a few misses to bulk up the file into the tens of megabytes. These embeds don't "undo" unless it's the first action you perform after making the mistake. I can close and reopen the previous version of the file and recreate all interim work, or copy/paste into a new score and redo the layout. If you looked at any of these, you realize these performance pieces for tenor guitar are very visually oriented. But, of course, I didn't discover the problem until the most recent set of 12 scores (one each month) that are based on each other started to load very sluggishly (an 80MB Finale file will do that!).
