For 7 years I have been creating Powerpoint presentations then going to 
File/Send To/Microsoft Word and using the Notes with blank lines options.  If 
the ppt is 605 KB the Word document ends up pretty small.  But for some 
reason today - it is making my 605 KB file turn into a 8,200 KB Word 
document.  It is massive and slow.  My big problem is I take the Word file 
and merge with others to make a manual.  I spoke to my Service Desk at the 
office and they can't help me, and it is urgent...I am so hoping someone out 
there knows a quick fix.  The Service Desk tried to do the Detect and Repair 
but it didn't matter.  I will take any suggestions :)

Detect and Repair is for damage the program. To try to repair damage to the 
document, go to the File > Open dialog, single-click on the huge document, 
click the down arrow next to the Open button, and choose Open and Repair.

If that doesn't help, more suggestions are at
