Data file size so large

[Neal Kaufman]

My wife has been using Publisher 2000. She makes a document for her nursery
school. The document is only about 20 pages but the file grows to an
enormous size (like way over 1 gigabyte) during the develpment process of
making the document. It does have lots of pictues but they are typically 50
to 100K in size. To me it seems that the program is doing a terrible job of
managing the file and maybe keeping old deleted stuff in it. Right now on
a Pentium III/500 it takes forever to open and edit files. She has broken
the document into four separate files but even those are so large that she
can get only two segments on a CD for backup. IF she upgrades to Publisher
2003 will the newer version do better at data management and create smaller
files. I would think that the file size should be about 20 to 50 megabytes
not way over a gigabyte.

Thanks,
Neal
