That's usually because history versioning is turned on. Turn it off and document sizes revert to something a lot more reasonable. That said, however: a .doc file (or a .pdf) is *not* the way to store plain text, which is a concept that I struggle to get across to some people. I don't want a 2MB binary email attachment that I have to open in an external program, and I don't want a .doc file attached as a "comment" in a project tracker. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
