Jacob, I created two identical charts using Legacy 7.5 and Legacy 8.0 using the sample file. The Legacy 8.0 chart file is larger (272 KB vs. 140 KB). Your file seems to have grown more than mine so I would check and make sure you are using the exact same options in both files before you compare them (the addition of two extra people shouldn’t have added that much). I used the default options in both.
If you notice, the two files have different extensions. Legacy 7.5 is .lwc and the Legacy 8.0 file is .lwcx. The different formats end up being different sizes. What you can do to make the file smaller so that you can email it is to right click on the chart file, select Send to then Compressed (zipped) Folder. Email the zip file and then the recipient can unzip it on their end.

Under L7.5, charts were about 350 kb. and could easily be emailed. Under L8, same chart, with addition of two people, are almost 16,000 kb. and cannot be emailed as an attachment. Any suggestions on how to reduce the chart size? Why did it become so bloated?
