Huge File size - editdata.mso

[JGreg7]

When using Outlook 2000, using Word as the e-mail editor,
writing a simple e-mail in HTML format with a few colors
of text, the e-mail file size becomes either 32MB or 44MB
in size. (Yes, Megabyte)

When the text is cut and pasted into Word, and saved as
a "doc" file, the file size is very small, when re-pasted
into a new e-mail, the size increases again.

Acting on an earlier response, I found the following...

E-mail file size = 44Mb, yes Megabytes!

Word Document (test.doc), file size = 94.7 kb

Word HTML (test.htm) file size is as follows:

HTM file size = 23.7 kb

support files in sub directory (3) size is

editdata.mso = 46.7Mb, yes Megabytes!
filelist.xml = 200 b
header.htm = 2 kb

What is this editdata.mso file? and why is it so large?
and last, how do I correct it?

How are your E-mail Options in Word? In Word: Tools-> Options-> tab
General-> button E-mail Options?

The editdata.mso file stores VBA and OLE information. Are there any macro's
in your default template?

Which default template? In Word, the normal.dot does have
some macros. Is this loaded when I use Word as the e-mail
editor?

And is there a way to change it?

 

[Roady]

Normal.dot indeed. And the way to change it is to remove the macro's or
change the E-mail Options I directed you to in my earlier post. When you
pressed the E-mail Options button choose for the General tab and set it to
medium or high.
