file sizes / version differences question

[Mike]

I had a 5 MB Visio 2003 document.

I had to save it down to an earlier version (I tried 2002)
in order to a friend to read it.

It went up to 19MB in size (after freezing). The file
would still open and appears fine.

But now I try to save it back to the default "Vision
Document" (2003) and it stays at an obtrusive size of 19MB.

Why can't I get it to slim back down?

WTF, Dude!

Thanks,

Mike

Did you have embedded images?

 

[Mike]

Yes, a couple. But they shouldn't be that large -
JPG's. Is there an option somewhere to compress these
further in 2003?

Thanks
