I figured it would get a bit larger, but I was concerned when it was more than double the size. Not to mention the fact that my harddrive, or processor doesn't seem to like it. It seems to think it has to work to hard.

RTF is an extremely unwieldy format and other than the minor inconvenience of larger files this is nothing to worry about. The main reason that files grow like this in Office is that Office places formatting around every paragraph instead of leaving it be from one paragraph to the next. I've also seen Office files where the first 60% is all font identification, with bits about every font on the system being inserted just in case you want to use it somewhere, even though you in fact only use a few of them. The unwieldy nature of RTF is one reason I am somewhat surprised that bookshare uses it, though it's well supported by editing tools which I figure is its main benefit.

I opened it in MS Word 2002, standardized font, surrounded page breaks with blank lines, removed extra blank lines, and extra spaces. Now it is over 4 MB. Any ideas what is causing this? I don't have track changes enabled. That was the only thing I could think of that would be adding so much information.
