PUB2x: "File is too Large...." Error Saving Publication

Q124404

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Publisher for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you save a Publisher document, you might receive the following error
message:

   File is too large. Delete some objects and save again.

CAUSE
=====

Publisher has an internal file size limit of 16 MB (minus the size of OLE
objects). Once this limit has been reached, Publisher cannot save any more 
additions to the file.

RESOLUTION
==========

To allow Publisher to save your file, reduce the overall size of the file 
by removing some of the objects. If your document has a lot of scanned 
images, rescan them at a lower resolution so that they require less 
overhead.

Because imported pictures are the most common reason for reaching the 16-MB
limit quickly, you can save room in the publication by inserting the
picture into an OLE container. ClipArt Gallery or Microsoft Draw are
two OLE containers that you can use to reduce file size.

Information contained in OLE objects does not count in the 16 MB file
size limit.
