Template file size

W

wendy

I have created custom templates (on a Mac platform for use
in Windows 2000 in XP environment) that have a file size of
only 438K. When the user opens the template to create a new
document from it, and they save their new document it jumps
up to 1.9 megabytes. The template file contains a single
jpeg of a logo and very little formatting. Is this just the
way it is? or can we get that file to remain under a mb.

Hi Wendy,

In your custom template under File/Properties/Summary do you have
"Save preview picture" turned on?

If so this is what is causing the documents to bloat since the preview
of the image is being saved with their documents as well.
