need to reduce word file size

R

I need to reduce the size of a two-page Word document to less than 200KB. There are no images or special formats, but the document is ~350KB. I believe that my normal template has exploded in size (almost 600KB); will reducing this help me? How do I do this?

Thanks,
Ross

Maybe. It definitely can't hurt trying to keep a clean Normal template, so
see if creating a new one reduces the file size. As for your current
document, try the following: click on the ¶ button to make Word display the
invisible characters, then copy everything *except* the last ¶ mark and
paste it into a new Word document (based on your *new* Normal template); if
you now save that new file, you should see a considerable reduction of the
file size.
