File bloat in FM

[Fred Ridder]

Have you tried using File>Import>File to bring the content of the offending files into clean copies of the appropriate template? Theoretically that should leave behind all unused remnants.

I am trying to diagnose the cause of "file bloat" in some older FM files I have inherited. I suspect that something was once imported with OLE, but the file is empty of graphics and other objects now, just a few pages of text, but it still "weighs in" at 22MB (other files with the same template are a few hundred KB).



I'd like to delete the traces of whatever object there once was but I can't find anything to delete. When I export it to MIF there are however thousands of lines of binary code. Can I simply delete them?



Many thanks,

David
