I would recommend making sure that under Tools, Options, then the Save tab,
that Allow Fast Saves is off. When it is on, MS Word just attaches the
changes to the file when you save, and it therefore saves faster but takes
a little bit longer to load and makes the file significantly larger. If
you turn off Allow Fast Saves, it will resave the whole file every time,
thereby taking a little bit longer to save, but it will use a lot less space.
