Reduce file sizes for Word documents
By default, Word will have a 'Fast Save' option enabled in its settings.
Having this option enabled does not really provide any advantage in terms of quicker save times; and it can help contribute to a larger file size as nothing is ever deleted from the document (to the computer's way of thinking).
Fast saves can be disabled to going to Tools - Options - Save then unchecking 'Allow fast saves'and clicking OK.
Saving is done in the normal fashion (Save button or Ctrl + S) and you shouldn't notice much of a difference in the amount of time Word takes to perform the save(if any).
