<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>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.<br><br>-Fred Ridder<br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: dfarbey@yahoo.co.uk<br>Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2014 10:38:11 +0100<br>Subject: File bloat in FM<br>To: Framers@lists.frameusers.com<br><br><div dir="ltr"><div class="ecxgmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;">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).<br>
<br></div><div class="ecxgmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;">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?<br>
<br></div><div class="ecxgmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;">Many thanks,<br><br></div><div class="ecxgmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;">David<br></div><div class="ecxgmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;">
