Yes, I do that as well. Big fan of Corel.

Another trick is to select all the text in Word —except the last paragraph mark—and then copy this into another Word file.

The last paragraph mark holds the formatting details of the file, so if you avoid this, you may be able to cut/paste without bringing format errors in the first document into the second.

1 copy the text completely into notepad and back into a new word document, perhaps use a font which doesn´t use up that much memory
2 copy the pics into corel, reduce the size of them to the minimum resolution acceptable, convert to jpg, then back into the new word document
