saving .docs to .rtf

T

Tom

Hi all!

I recently recovered a corrupted Word 2002 file, using
the excellent documentation in Knowledge Base. After
recovering the file, I saved it as rich text, then re-
saved it as Word 2002. I found that this new Word file
was over 20% smaller than the original Word file had
been. I repeated this with two other large Word
documents I'm currently working on, and experienced
similar size reductions. I've scanned all three, and
cannot see any differences from the original Word docs.

So my QUESTIONS: 1) what can account for such a drastic
reduction in size? 2) and the corolary: am I losing
anything important? 3) should I do this "rtf
compression" w/ all large word docs I've been working on
for a while?

Many thanks for all thoughts,
Tom Mueller
