/* Written 9:08 pm Jul 10, 1989 by cuello@uxh.cso.uiuc.edu in m.cs.uiuc.edu:comp.sys.mac */ Because our good-old MS Word will have stored in the file _ALL_ the text that has been typed in that document, regardless if it was deleted, edited, polished,armor-alled... So, when the guy tries to open the 4.0 document using 3.0x, the file will be read as text... and everything will be there for him to see!!! Now, isn't this an efficient way to store information? /* End of text from m.cs.uiuc.edu:comp.sys.mac */ I would guess that this is related to whether your document was saved using 'fast save.' With this option on, Word just saves the changes, without rewriting the entire file, to save time. If you do a 'save as...' and uncheck 'fast save,' the file will be rewritten, and the deleted sections should disappear. David Rudolph rudolph@m.cs.uiuc.edu University of Illinois
