I have just discovered that although our graphics file sizes are small, my Word 2003 document, when converted to an earlier version, became HUGE. Almost 4MB!
From Microsoft: Graphics are converted to WMF (Windows Metafile) or PICT (Macintosh) format, which does not support graphics compression. This increases the file size of documents that contain graphics.

I am now in search of an older computer with Word 2000 on it so I can re-do the whole document...

I hope this issue gets resolved next year.
