Why is it that my version of Pagemaker 3.0x will reduce the size of a
file by 30% if I use save as... instead of save...?

Does anyone else have the same problem?

If you really want to compress a Pagemaker file (preferable 1 page) for
archiving purposes, here's a tip:  Cut the entire document, paste it in
the scrapbook, and place the scrapbook on the same page.  Now the whole
page is treated like a graphic.  But beware.  You can not edit the text,
so I wouldn't really recomend this method unless you are sure that you
are finished with it.  Using this method, I reduced nearly 5 megabytes
of files to 700K and conveniently stored them on a floppy. (And I even
backed it up!)

But be careful...
