  1. I've done some further experimentation - for my past files, I've simply been making a copy of the previous file, deleting all the content, and making new pages. This has been so that I don't have to redo my page sizes, guides, grid, etc. for each new file. But I made a completely new file, put the same pictures and text in and gave them the same treatments, and the file size did not balloon as it has with other files. I then made a brand new version of my photo book master (with the correct page size, margins, grid, guides, etc.) and put in the same pictures and text, and again the file size did not go crazy. So now I'm wondering if there's something happening behind the scenes with one file that I just kept making copies of...
  2. To add more details about what I'm encountering: I've continued working on the photo book, breaking it up into 6-page files. This issue is happening with all five files that I have so far, so does not seem to be linked to a particular image. The large file is not consistently the same size - I'll save it one time and it will be several hundred MBs, the next time it could be 1-2GB, with few or no changes to the file itself. The file size can change dramatically even if all I do is, for example, add a text box.
  3. @Callum has there been any update to this? This issue is really slowing me down!
  4. I am having a similar issue and looking forward to a reply from Serif. Working on a photo book - at 5 pages, maybe 50 images, all linked. When I first looked at the file size, it was at 1.84GB. Tried some of the previous solutions - ensured I wasn't using Save History, tried Save As - still 1.84GB. Using the Resource Manager, I embedded all of the image files, then switched them back to linked and suddenly the file size was down to 3.2MB. Made a couple changes (because during this process, a bunch of the images suddenly appear like they have a white semi-transparent overlay on them and I wanted to make sure that wasn't the case), and the file size immediately climbed back up to several hundred MB. Of course, Publisher quickly slows to a crawl - opening, saving, working on the file... when I did last year's photo book, I ended up doing 10 separate files of 10 pages each (and they were still each large and slow), which I'd rather not have to do!
