Size of document doesn't change after deleting Doc Variables.

[Ahmad]

I have created 4 document variables into Word document and noted the
file size. then i deleted all the document variables. and then again
noted the file size. but unfortunately there is no change in the file
size. I used the following code to view the variables and then deleted
them.

Dim Response
Dim myVar As Variable

For Each myVar In ActiveDocument.Variables
Response = MsgBox("The document variable: " & myVar.Name & vbCr &
_
"Value: " & myVar.Value & vbCr & vbCr & _
"Do you want to delete the variable from this document?",
vbYesNo)

If Response = "6" Then
' Delete the variable.
myVar.Delete
Else
End
End If
Next myVar

MsgBox "There are no variables in the document."

so is there any body to let me know where the problem lies.
Thanks

Ahmad

Why is it a problem?

Thanks Jezebel!
Actually it is a problem for me. coz i am storing Large amount of
binary data inside the document variables. It so happened that i
created an empty doc file. its size was about 10 to 15KB then i stored
a number of variables containing binary data. and size increased to
2.08MB. then after that i deleted all the variables stored by me. but i
was shocked that the file size was not reduced even a single byte. so
this is actually a big problem for me.
