Hi all I swear that what follows is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth:
This evening I wanted to send a document with a screenshot and a few lines of code copied to the clipboard from the VFP command window to a colleague - just something quick and dirty - so PrintScreen Open Word Paste - nice screen dump appears Back to VFP - copy a few lines from the command window to the clipboard Back to Word and paste them in Save the document as MyDoc.DOC (default format) Resulting file size 107KB - no problem Oh, wait a minute, let me save that again as RTF Resulting file size 9140 KB !!! I've got the files (DOC and RTF) still and can send them to anybody who (a) doesn't believe me OR (b) would just like to see for themselves OR (c) would like to investigate just why there is this HUGE discrepancy Maybe it's just that MS Word 2003 has a fantastically efficient and compact DOC storage model ?
