TheWordExpert's response made me think about change tracking. If that's turned on, you will definitely have your documents increase in size every time you make a change.

So, how are we doing here info_rsce_mgmt@worldnet.att.net?

1. Make sure you are not *saving down*. Open one of the files, and hit File-Save as. Does it say Word document or does it say some other version?

2. Save the file to a new name. Select each picture, cut it, hit Edit-paste special-As a picture. When you've done this to all pictures, has your file size decreased?

3. Using Autoformat can increase the size of your files.

4. See this Technet article for information about tables increasing document size:

5. Why is the file being opened again and again? Perhaps this can give us some idea of what might be occurring to increase the file size.
