File bloat !

[Adrian]

I recently purchased MS Project 2007. I continually crash when trying to
print large project files (300 line). I watch the file being sent ot the
printer and it grows to 25 MD sometimes.

Why is that. When my partner prints the same file in MS Project 2003 it is
about 800 KB.

Why so bloated in 2007?

Although I cannot explain the bloat, here is what I tried to fix it when it
happened to me:

1. Save the file as XML and then reopen it, save as a new file.
2. Save it to Project 2003 format, open it in 2003 and immediately save it
as mpd file. Then reopen the mpd file and save as.

I had better success with method 2, but I still ended up recreating the thing.
