Hi.

Regarding which font and size you have pasted the text into the document with, you'll get less space on each line in the Word document, and it'll automatically expand to a larger page size.

If you highlight the entire document, and change the font to e.g. Times New Roman 11 pt. than you will reduce the amount of pages in the document.

Hi Wayne,
I suspect this happens because Microsoft Word documents  have more overhead
than .pdf files.
Generally any file you save as a .doc or .docx will be larger even if it
started out as a simple text file.

HTH,

Tomorrow's another day, another way!
and if tomorrow never comes, problem solved!

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Multiplication of MS Word pages


Hello good people,



The following happens to me all the time.  I just opened a PDF document that
is a book chapter and saved it as Accessible text.  I then selected the
entire chapter and then copied and pasted it into an MS Word 2007 blank
document and the text transferred fine.  The problem is that a chapter that
is 34 pages has become 86 pages.  Any thoughts on the matter?



Thanks in advance for any help.



Wayne
