Hi, Hmmm, that's interesting. Not sure but I don't believe that it really matters either. The sizes you're speaking of are minuscule. When you talk of files being in the KB range, there's nothing at all to be concerned about. I tested like you and had a .DOCX file that I changed into a .Pages file which changed it from 127 KB to 219 KB. Pages does tend to kind of do a package thing for it's files and this may be what causes the difference.
