File unusually large

[Dan]

I have a Publisher file containing two pages that has been
edited many times. The pages are simple, mostly text with
a few small images (less than 400KB). However, the file
is unusually large. The file is 22MB. I would estimate
that the file should be less 1MB.

Does Publisher accumulates historical information in the
file. I know there was a problem with Word Doc that after
many revisions, the file grows unusually large since
deleted items are not really deleted from the file.

Is there a "shrink file" option in Publisher?

Thank you.

Dan

Publisher (not 2003) has the same issue that it does not delete the pictures
in the file when you delete them.
If you have pasted/inserted deleted many pictures from that file, it is time
to make a new file.

Publisher also saves all JPG's up to and including Publisher 2002 as
UN-compressed Bitmapped images.

NOT including 2002. 2002/2003 share the same compression engine.
