It does.  If you disable "Fast Save" in MS Word 4.0, it rewrites files
to disk without the "free space" incurred by Fast Save.  It's quite
similar to compacting a stack, actually.  You can use MS Word's
"Command" dialog to install "Fast Save" on one of your menus, and then
simply uncheck it so that your docs will never save in the "inflated"
form.
