Size of inflated RTF files

Some but not all my WordPad (i.e. RTF files) increase their file size

proportion to the amount of content in them. I am referring to the RTF documents

containing only the text content and containing no inserted pictures or objects.

For example; a file that was originally 50 KB will increase to 100 KB in size

After that I have re-opened and saved it and where I only did minor editions to the document.

Whenever I open and save the file, the file size increases significantly, if it is not exponential.

I suspect that this happens only in the RTF files in which I copied and pasted text

the Internet and I feel that there are some objects that have been glued integrated

in the RTF document and the text... which I can't see on the page.

I didn't have this problem until recently, and I'd like to be able to continue

content of text copy and paste Internet in WordPad without their file sizes bloating upward.

I copy - paste Internet text in WordPad to compile extracts from the information.

so that I can (i) avoid the risk of infecting my computer by downloading of Web pages in their entirety;

(ii) reduce the size of the file to keep a free space on my HARD drive and to make the file easier to handle;

and (iii) edit the documents in a word processor with the capabilities database in shape.

No one knows the cause of the problem I described and if so,.

So how can I reduce the size of the RTF boated on my HARD drive files

and how can I avoid this problem from happening again?

All of the solutions you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Miles.

FYI: I use WordPad version 6.1.7601.17514 on the platform of WINDOWS 7 Pro SP1 (64-bit).

Use Paste special menu drop down (from the Ribbon - dough) and choose text unformatted.

This will remove all the extra characters, etc..

  • Reduce the size of the Photo file

    How can I reduce the size of TIFF picture files below 20 MB

    Export to JPEG

    Or of cultures

    or export with smaller dimensions in pixels

    The reason why you use a TR TIFF not compressed, so there is no loss of data - so it is very broad - must either compressed (JPEG format for example) where there are some (very minor I you use low compression - high quality) or delete some data in order to reduce its size

  • need to open rtf files in pages

    I just changed from a computer in Microsoft Word for Mac and use pages. I am a writer and my critique using as standard format .rtf group to send and receive criticism. Pages does not open the rtf files, they offer text/edit. I have thousands of documents in rtf format. Is there a way to either make a change in the coverage of all my existing files from rtf to doc, sort of like a find all rtf files and change in doc, or open files rich text in pages?

    If you have Pages ' 09 v4.3 in your Applications: case of iWork ' 09, that allows to open the RTF document and export the Word doc format. This will allow to maintain hyperlinks when you open the Word .doc file in v5.6.2 Pages. If you do not have too much of this version of Pages, then he would offer the best solution for rtf to doc conversion automated with better fidelity of output. I think I have something written that does.

    If you don't have a Pages ' 09:

    1. I suggest that you download and install the free LibreOffice, so that you can open the RTF and then save it as DOCX - without losing all the hyperlinks in the RTF original.
    2. TextEdit is not a word processor, and even if he can open a RTF and then option-menu file: Save as... to DOCX, you may lose some original arrangement of processing and certainly will lose hyperlinks - when reopened in v5.6.2 Pages.
    3. If you use the textutil utility in the Terminal to convert RTF to DOCX, it will remove the hyperlinks and leave you with a DOCX with underlined text. The default output of textutil is foo.docx in the following example.

      textutil - convert docx foo.rtf

  • More 1740bytes cannot retrieve cache Firefox12 in Windows7.The files files files can store the maximum size of a single file only 1740bytes?

    I can't get flv (YouTube video) larger files that 1740bytes of Firefox12 in Windows7 cache files, cause whenever I have search in the files, I can only find files with unique maximum file size 1740bytes and video files flv from YouTube are significantly larger than that. So, how can I get it back only the cache YouTube video file?
    But Firefox12 does not have this problem occurs in Windows XP.
    Furthermore, what is the maximum single file size in Firefox12 cache files?

    It has just begun to surface on the Web more. This seems not to be a browser problem, as happens in my opera and IE too. Apparently, YouTube has decided to not let us perceive his videos more and their place is cutting in 1 740 ko somehow files be reconstructed with its own codes when needed to play. Others are also noticed that if you make a pause a video is not going to preload as it used to- but a short distance. No doubt it is pre-configured as a segment of 1 740 both and support even not all except if you look at all this.

  • Word insertion object vi only inserts first page of the MultiPage rtf file?

    Hello

    I need to insert a multi-page rtf file in my report model.  In Microsoft Word, this is achieved by selecting "Insert, text of file object", which inserts all pages in the rtf file.  How is - that this is reached in the LabView Report Generation Toolkit Microsoft?  When I use the insertion object vi, it inserts only the first page of the rtf file?  I tried other methods of insertion, but insert object is the only vi which keeps the formatting (e.g. rtf file contains tables).

    In summary, I can insert a rtf as an object to a bookmark file, but only the first page of the rtf file is inserted.  Does anyone know how to insert a rtf multi-page file?

    Kind regards

    Hi Allan,

    I was able to generate the code to convert the _Document in range by copying it from the inside of the Object.vi Word.  The VI gray called Word_Get_Range.vi. It is located in vi.lib\addons\_office\_wordsub.llb

  • EULA.RTF files can be deleted?

    I have 30 of these files and want to remove them and just leave them alone. I got the error as the eula.rtf file cannot be deleted. Does anyone have a solution?

    Hello lwgreen,

    The eula.rtf file are End User License Agreement. They are stored on your drive when you install applications. The reason why you can't delete the files, is that you don't have the property rights to the files.
    To change the property:
    Right click on the folder parent of these files and do a right click on this folder.
    Click on properties.
    Click the Security tab.
    Click the Advanced button.
    You will need to change the property using change of ownership to your user name.
    Once you are the owner of the folder and all subfolders and files, you can delete them.

    I hope this helps.

  • How to reduce the size of the PDF file on scanned on my PMX922 docs

    I deal with a lot of documents, and I find that when I scan the docs on my MX922 the size of the PDF file is MUCH larger that the size of the original PDF file. That's what I see (on a document page 2):

    (Received) original size: 11 k

    Default scan (Quick Menu): 1061 k

    With compression high (Quick Menu): 116 k

    The Panel of the printer (res 150): 209 k

    Windows scanning app (150 res): 1495 k

    Scanning from the Quick Menu with high Compression seems to be the best, but it still somewhat adds to the file size. It's a big problem so I dal with many GREAT docs. Several times the size of the file increase prevents me from being able to send files. Is there anything else I can do? Does anyone have any suggestions?

    6. in the window that opens, find the COMPRESSION PDF section, then select TOP from the drop-down list. Click OK to close the window. You will be taken back to the SETTINGS window.

    7. once all settings have been selected in the SETUP window, click the OK button at the bottom of the window to save the changes. The IJ Scan Utility main screen is displayed.

    8. click the DOCUMENT button. Housing starts scanning. Click CANCEL to cancel the scan if necessary. The scanned images are saved to the location of the selected folder previously specified in the SETTINGS... window.
