Right you are.  Not only that, I (and others) have had problems with
MS Word's "Fast Save" actually corrupting the structure of very large
documents.  I permanently turned off "Fast Save" a long time ago.
It's true, as someone complains, that the save times are longer, but
compacting a HyperCard stack takes time too.  You can't have
everything.  At least not right now.
