WORD saving very slowly on large document
Hello. I have a 3,400 page Word document. When it is saved either automatically or when I save it myself, it takes about 10 seconds to finish saving. Is there any way to improve the speed of this?
2021 iMac, Apple M1 chip, 8 GB Memory, running OS Ventura 13.5.2
Microsoft Word for Mac, Version 16.76.1
If you know a way to make Word save this document faster, I'd really appreciate it.
How's the size of WORD file?
I would suggest to compress the file size:
IMAGES
FONTS
EMBEDDED CHARTS
EMBEDDED OBJECTS

Can you please tell me which method you used to compress the files? I too am experiencing this issue.
Than you!

- I have to thank you again - I compressed and went from 19.6MB to 7.6MB and Word responds perfectly again now. A major hassle is gone thanks to you!
- I forgot to add: the file size of the Word doc is 19.6 MB.
- Thank you so very much! That sounds like the way to go and I'll learn how to do it. The long save time has been really irritating and a big time-waster. Thanks again!
