Spool size/file size Word 2000

Why does a document of 39MB spool to over 751Mb before printing?
TIA

Mike,

I believe it does had some bearing as to what printer you are using and what printer language the file has to be changed to. At least I believe it's something to do with that.

The spool file is recreating each page of the document as a graphic.

Many thanks Suzanne, I suppose it's something we will have to live with.
The document is actually only 16 pages in total, consisting of 63
thumbnail jpeg images in a table matrix, with a title and short
description of each. We originally created this in Publisher but the
finished file would not fit on a CD!

Many thanks for your reply, but I know what language we are using whilst
we wait for it to print! ;-)
