Word documents can get huge, unusually long, complex documents with loads of embedded images, fonts, and other objects. But it also seems like documents can grow out of hand for seemingly no reason at all. If you’re dealing with a huge document, here are some things you can try to reduce its file size.
Word文档可能会变得庞大,异常长,复杂,并带有大量嵌入式图像,字体和其他对象。 但是似乎文件也可能毫无缘由地增长。 如果您要处理的文档非常大,可以尝试以下方法来减小其文件大小。
When you’ve got a Word document that’s a bit too large, the first thing you’ll try is compressing the images in it. This is partly because sites like How-To Geek have written comprehensive articles explaining how to do this, and partly because, well, images always seem to bump up the size of a Word document beyond reason. You should still go ahead and follow the tips we wrote in that article because if you’ve got images, they’ll help you.
当您拥有一个太大的Word文档时,首先要尝试的是压缩其中的图像。 这部分是因为像How-To Geek这样的网站已经写了详尽的文章来解释如何做到这一点 ,部分是因为,图像似乎总是无缘无故地增加了Word文档的大小。 您仍然应该继续按照我们在该文章中写的提示进行操作,因为如果您有图像,它们会为您提供帮助。
But if you haven’t got images, or you’ve followed those tips and need to reduce the file size more, we’ve got you covered. We’ve got a lot of tips to share, so we’ve broken them down into things that will definitely help reduce the size of a Word document, things that might help, and some commonly-suggested tips with which you shouldn’t bother.
但是,如果您没有图像,或者您已遵循这些提示,并且需要进一步减小文件大小,那么我们可以满足您的要求。 我们有很多要分享的技巧,因此我们将它们分解为肯定有助于减小Word文档大小的内容,可能有帮助的内容以及一些不建议您使用的常见提示。 。
Let’s get started.
让我们开始吧。
可以帮助缩小文档大小的提示 (Tips that Will Definitely Help Reduce a Document’s Size)
Not every tip you find will be useful to you. Sometimes this is because they don’t apply to your situation (if you’ve got no images then tips on compressing images won’t be of use) but sometimes the tips are just plain wrong. We’ve tested all of the tips in this section, so we know they work.
并非您发现的每个提示都会对您有用。 有时这是因为它们不适用于您的情况(如果您没有图像,那么压缩图像的技巧将不可用),但有时这些技巧是完全错误的。 我们已经测试了本节中的所有技巧,因此我们知道它们有效。
将您的文档转换为DOCX格式 (Convert Your Document to the DOCX Format)
Microsoft released the DOCX format in Office 2007, so if you’re still using .doc format, it’s time to convert. The newer .docx file type essentially acts as a ZIP file by compressing the contents of the document, so simply converting a .doc file to the .docx format will make your document smaller. (This also applies to other Office formats like Excel (.xls to .xslx), PowerPoint (.ppt to .pptx) and Visio (.vsd to .vsdx) by the way.)
Microsoft在Office 2007中发布了DOCX格式 ,因此,如果您仍在使用.doc格式,那么该进行转换了。 较新的.docx文件类型本质上通过压缩文档内容而充当ZIP文件,因此只需将.doc文件转换为.docx格式,即可缩小文档的大小。 (顺便说一下,这也适用于其他Office格式,例如Excel(.xls到.xslx),PowerPoint(.ppt到.pptx)和Visio(.vsd到.vsdx)。)
To convert your .doc file, open it in Word and click File > Info > Convert.
要转换.doc文件,请在Word中打开它,然后单击文件>信息>转换。

Click “OK” on the prompt that appears, click the “Save” button, and Word converts your document to .docx. Word does this conversion by creating a brand-new version of the document in the new format, so you’ll still have your old .doc version available.
在出现的提示上单击“确定”,再单击“保存”按钮,然后Word将您的文档转换为.docx。 Word通过以新格式创建文档的全新版本来进行此转换,因此您仍然可以使用旧的.doc版本。
We tested this with a sample 20-page .doc file that contained six images, various tables, and formatting marks. The original .doc file was 6,001KB, but the converted .docx file only weighed in at 721KB. That’s 12% of the original size. Nothing else we suggest below will do more to reduce your file size, so if you have .doc files you can convert to .docx, your work might be done.
我们用一个20页的示例.doc文件进行了测试,该文件包含六个图像,各种表格和格式标记。 原始.doc文件为6001KB,但转换后的.docx文件仅重721KB。 那是原始大小的12%。 我们建议您采取以下其他措施来减小文件大小,因此,如果您有.doc文件,可以将其转换为.docx,则可以完成工作。
插入图片而不是复制和粘贴它们 (Insert Your Pictures Instead of Copying and Pasting Them)
When you copy and paste an image into your document, Word makes certain assumptions about how to deal with it. One of these assumptions is that you want the pasted image to be a BMP format, which is a large file type, or sometimes PNG, which is still quite large. A simple alternative is to paste your image into an editing programme instead, save it as a smaller format like JPG, and then use Insert > Picture to insert the image into your document instead.
当您将图像复制并粘贴到文档中时,Word会对如何处理图像做出某些假设。 这些假设之一是,您希望粘贴的图像是BMP格式,这是一种大文件类型,或者有时是PNG,它仍然很大。 一种简单的替代方法是将图像粘贴到编辑程序中,将其保存为较小的格式(例如JPG),然后使用“插入”>“图片”将图像插入到文档中。
Pasting the small screenshot below directly into an otherwise blank Word document made that document’s size jump from 22 KB to 548 KB.
将下面的小屏幕截图直接粘贴到否则为空白的Word文档中,使该文档的大小从22 KB跃升至548 KB。

Pasting that screenshot into Paint, saving it as a JPG, and then inserting that JPG into a blank document caused the document to jump to only 331 KB. That’s just over 40% smaller. Even better, using the GIF format resulted in a document that was over 60% smaller. Scaled up, that’s the difference between a 10 MB document and 4 MB document.
将该屏幕快照粘贴到Paint中,将其另存为JPG,然后将该JPG插入空白文档中,导致文档仅跳至331 KB。 比这小40%。 更好的是,使用GIF格式可使文档缩小60%以上。 按比例放大,这就是10 MB文档和4 MB文档之间的差异。
Of course, you can’t always get away with this. Sometimes, you’re going to need the better image quality that formats like BMP and PNG can offer. But if it’s a small image or you don’t need super high quality, using a lighter weight format and inserting the picture can help.
当然,您不能总是摆脱这种情况。 有时,您将需要BMP和PNG等格式可以提供的更好的图像质量。 但是,如果图像较小,或者不需要超高质量,则使用较轻的重量格式并插入图片会有所帮助。
保存图像时,请进行编辑 (While You’re Saving Your Image, Do Your Editing)
When you edit an image in Word, it stores all of your image edits as part of the document. The means if you crop an image in your document, Word still retains the full original image. Change an image to black and white, and Word still retains the original full-color image.
在Word中编辑图像时,它将所有图像编辑存储为文档的一部分。 这意味着,如果您在文档中裁剪图像 ,Word仍将保留完整的原始图像。 将图像更改为黑白 ,Word仍保留原始的全彩色图像。
This increases the size of your document unnecessarily, so when you’ve made changes to your images, and you’re sure you don’t need to revert those images, you can have Word discard the editing data.
这会不必要地增加文档的大小,因此,当您对图像进行更改时,并且您确定不需要还原这些图像时,可以让Word 放弃编辑数据 。
But better than removing unnecessary data from your document is not having that unnecessary data in your document in the first place. Any edits you can make, even simple ones like cropping or adding an arrow, are best done in an image editor before you insert the image into the document.
但是比从文档中删除不必要的数据更好的是,首先不要在文档中保留不必要的数据。 在将图像插入文档之前,最好在图像编辑器中完成您可以进行的任何编辑,甚至是诸如裁剪或添加箭头之类的简单编辑。
一次性压缩所有图像 (Compress All of Your Images in One Go)
Yes, we said at the start that this article was about other ways to decrease your file size, but most articles on this subject tell you how to compress your images one at a time (including our article), and here at How-To Geek we’re all about finding better ways to do things.
是的,我们在一开始就说过,本文是关于减小文件大小的其他方法,但是有关该主题的大多数文章都告诉您如何一次压缩一个图像(包括我们的文章 ),请参见How-To Geek我们都在寻找更好的做事方式。
Click File > Save As > More Options. (You may have “Save a Copy” rather than “Save As” if you’ve got OneDrive with AutoSave turned on.)
单击文件>另存为>更多选项。 (如果启用了自动保存的OneDrive,则可能具有“保存副本”而不是“另存为”。)

This opens the “Save As” dialog box, where you access some additional options. Click Tools > Compress Pictures.
这将打开“另存为”对话框,您可以在其中访问一些其他选项。 单击工具>压缩图片。

This opens the “Compress pictures” panel, where you can decide on what compression you want to apply to all of your images at once.
这将打开“压缩图片”面板,您可以在其中决定要一次对所有图像应用哪种压缩。

The “Apply only to this picture” option is grayed out because this is an all or nothing tool—either all of your images will have these options applied when you save the document or none of them will. So if you want to choose different options for different images, this won’t work for you. But if you’re looking to compress all of your images in one go, this is the option to use.
“仅应用于此图片”选项将灰显,因为这是全部或全部工具–保存文档时,所有图像都将应用这些选项,或者全部都不应用。 因此,如果您想为不同的图像选择不同的选项,则将无法使用。 但是,如果您希望一次性压缩所有图像,则可以使用此选项。
Select your choices, click “OK,” and then save the new version of your document with all of the images compressed.
选择您的选择,单击“确定”,然后保存所有图像经过压缩的新版本文档。
停止在文档中嵌入字体 (Stop Embedding Fonts in Your Document)
Unless you’re using an unusual font from a galaxy far, far away, it’s almost certain that anyone with whom you share your document will be able to read it using their copy of Word (or a free alternative like Libre Office). So why would you want to waste space in your file by embedding the fonts? Stop this happening by going to File > Options > Save and turning off the “Embed fonts in the file” option.
除非您使用的是来自遥远星系的不寻常字体 ,否则几乎可以肯定,与您共享文档的任何人都可以使用其Word副本(或类似Libre Office的免费替代版本)阅读文档。 那么,为什么要嵌入字体来浪费文件空间呢? 通过转到文件>选项>保存并关闭“在文件中嵌入字体”选项来阻止这种情况的发生。

You might think that this wouldn’t make much difference, but you’d be wrong. If you have font embedding turned on and have the “Do not embed common system fonts” option turned off, the difference in file size is almost 2 MB. Even with “Do not embed common system fonts” turned on (which means fonts like Calibri, Arial, Courier New, Times New Roman, and so on aren’t included), the file is still almost 1.3 MB bigger.
您可能会认为这不会有太大的不同,但是您会错的。 如果打开了字体嵌入功能,并且关闭了“不嵌入常用系统字体”选项,则文件大小的差异几乎为2 MB。 即使启用了“请勿嵌入通用系统字体”(这意味着不包括Calibri,Arial,Courier New,Times New Roman等字体),该文件的大小仍将近1.3 MB。

So yes, stop embedding fonts in your document.
因此,请停止在文档中嵌入字体。
如果可以,请停止嵌入其他文件 (Stop Embedding Other Files If You Can)
We recently showed you how to embed or link an Excel spreadsheet in a Word document (and you can do this with other files, like PowerPoint presentations or Visio diagrams, as well). If you can link to the spreadsheet instead of embedding it, you’ll save yourself most of the size of the Excel file. You won’t save all of it, because the linked spreadsheet will still add some size, but your document will be much smaller with a link than a full embed. Of course, there are drawbacks to linking as well as benefits, so be sure to read that article to understand them before you do this.
最近,我们向您展示了如何在Word文档中嵌入或链接Excel电子表格 (您也可以对其他文件进行此操作,例如PowerPoint演示文稿或Visio图表)。 如果您可以链接到电子表格而不是嵌入电子表格,则可以节省大部分Excel文件的大小。 您不会保存所有内容,因为链接的电子表格仍会增加一些大小,但是带有链接的文档比完全嵌入的文档要小得多。 当然,链接和好处都有弊端,因此在执行此操作之前,请务必阅读该文章以了解它们。
停止存储文档的缩略图 (Stop Storing a Thumbnail for the Document)
Back in the day, Word let you store a thumbnail image of the document so that Windows could show you a preview in File Explorer. These days, File Explorer can do this on its own and doesn’t need help from Word, but the option is still there in your document. In our 721KB test document, turning this option on increased the file size to 3247 KB. That’s 4.5 times the size of the original file—for nothing. You’ll find this setting at File > Info > Properties > Advanced Properties.
过去,Word使您可以存储文档的缩略图,以便Windows可以在“文件资源管理器”中显示预览。 如今,文件资源管理器可以自行执行此操作,不需要Word的帮助,但是该选项仍在文档中。 在我们的721KB测试文档中,打开此选项会将文件大小增加到3247 KB。 那是原始文件大小的4.5倍-一无所有。 您可以在文件>信息>属性>高级属性中找到此设置。

Turn off the “Save thumbnails for all Word documents” checkbox and click “OK.”
关闭“保存所有Word文档的缩略图”复选框,然后单击“确定”。

The name of this option is a bit misleading because turning it off here only affects the document you’ve got open, even though it says, “all Word documents.” If this is turned on by default when you create a document, then you’ll need to turn it off in the Normal.dotx template and Microsoft has provided excellent instructions for doing this if you’re not sure how.
此选项的名称有点误导,因为在此处将其关闭只会影响您打开的文档,即使它说“所有Word文档”。 如果在创建文档时默认情况下启用了此功能,则需要在Normal.dotx模板中将其关闭。如果不确定如何做,Microsoft将提供出色的指导 。
You can also turn this setting off in the “Save As” dialogue, where it’s called the slightly more correct “Save thumbnail.”
您也可以在“另存为”对话框中关闭此设置,此对话框称为稍微更正确的“另存为缩略图”。

从文档中删除个人和隐藏信息 (Remove Personal and Hidden Information from Your Document)
Not only is personal information adding to the size of your document, but it’s also potentially giving your readers information you don’t want them to have. There might also be information that has been formatted as hidden, and if you don’t need this hidden text in the document, why not get rid of it?
个人信息不仅增加了文档的大小,而且还可能为读者提供您不希望他们拥有的信息。 可能还有一些信息的格式设置为隐藏,如果您在文档中不需要此隐藏文本,为什么不删除它呢?
Remove this unnecessary information from your document by heading to File > Info > Check for Issues and then clicking the “Inspect Document” button.
转到文件>信息>检查问题,然后单击“检查文档”按钮,从文档中删除这些不必要的信息。

Make sure “Document Properties and Personal Information” is switched on and then click “Inspect.” When the Inspector has finished running, click “Remove All” in the “Document Properties and Personal Information” section.
确保“文档属性和个人信息”已打开,然后单击“检查”。 当检查器完成运行后,单击“文档属性和个人信息”部分中的“全部删除”。

This action reduced our test file size by 7 KB, so not a tremendous amount. However, it’s good practice to remove personal information from your files, so you should probably do this anyway. Be warned that you can’t recover this data after removing it, so make sure you’re happy for it to go before you remove it. You can do the same thing for the “Invisible Content” and “Hidden Text” options, but this will only make your file smaller if you’ve got hidden content.
此操作将我们的测试文件大小减少了7 KB,因此数量不多。 但是,从文件中删除个人信息是个好习惯,因此无论如何您都应该这样做。 请注意,删除后无法恢复该数据,因此请确保对删除前的数据感到满意。 您可以对“不可见内容”和“隐藏文本”选项执行相同的操作,但这只会在您拥有隐藏内容的情况下缩小文件大小。
关闭自动恢复(如果您敢) (Turn off AutoRecover (If You Dare))
One of Word’s great features—in fact, one of the great features of every Office app—is AutoRecover. This feature makes regular backups of your file as you work, so if Word crashes or your computer restarts unexpectedly (such as when Windows does a system update overnight), you’ll be presented with automatically recovered versions of open documents the next time you start Word. Of course, all of these versions add to the size of your file, so if you turn off AutoRecover, your file will be smaller.
Word的强大功能之一(实际上,每个Office应用程序的强大功能之一)是AutoRecover。 此功能可在工作时对文件进行定期备份,因此,如果Word崩溃或计算机意外重启(例如Windows隔夜进行系统更新),则下次启动时,系统将为您显示打开文档的自动恢复版本字。 当然,所有这些版本都会增加文件的大小,因此,如果关闭“自动恢复”,则文件会更小。
Go to File > Options > Save and turn off the “Save AutoRecover information every [x minutes]” option.
转到文件>选项>保存,然后关闭“每[x分钟]保存一次自动恢复信息”选项。

This won’t make an immediate difference, but it will stop new AutoRecover versions being added to the file as you work on it.
这不会立即产生变化,但是会在您处理文件时停止将新的自动恢复版本添加到文件中。
Just be warned that you’ll no longer have AutoRecover versions so if Word crashes or closes unexpectedly, you’ll lose all of your work since the last time you saved it.
请注意,您将不再拥有自动恢复版本,因此,如果Word崩溃或意外关闭,您将失去自上次保存以来的所有工作。
将所有内容复制到全新文档中 (Copy Everything into a Brand-New Document)
As you work on a document, Word saves various things in the background to help you. We’ve shown how to turn these off where possible, and how to delete the data that Word collects, but there will likely still be things in your document you don’t need. If you find yourself subject to this kind of document size creep, you can create a new document and then copy everything over to it.
在处理文档时,Word会将各种内容保存在后台以帮助您。 我们已经展示了如何在可能的情况下将其关闭,以及如何删除Word收集的数据,但是您的文档中可能仍有某些不需要的东西。 如果您发现自己受这种文档尺寸变化的影响,则可以创建一个新文档,然后将所有内容复制到该文档上。
Start by creating a new blank document. Select all of the content in your current document by pressing Ctrl+A. In the new document, press Ctrl+V to paste everything. This copies all your text, sections, formatting, page layout options, page numbering—everything you need.
首先创建一个新的空白文档。 通过按Ctrl + A选择当前文档中的所有内容。 在新文档中,按Ctrl + V粘贴所有内容。 这将复制您所需的所有文本,节,格式,页面布局选项,页面编号。
Your new document won’t have any of the previous background saves, AutoRecover information, or previous versions, and this should reduce the file size.
您的新文档将没有任何以前的后台保存,自动恢复信息或以前的版本,因此可以减小文件的大小。
Bear in mind doing this will copy over any editing data in your images, so you might want to remove that from the original document first before copying everything over to your new document. If you don’t, it’s no big deal. You can still remove it from your new document.
请记住,这样做会复制图像中的所有编辑数据,因此您可能需要先将其从原始文档中删除,然后再将所有内容复制到新文档中。 如果您不这样做,那没什么大不了的。 您仍然可以将其从新文档中删除。
We can’t tell you how much this will save, because it could be anything from a few kilobytes to a lot of megabytes, but it’s always worth doing if you want to strip as much fat as possible from your document.
我们无法告诉您这将节省多少,因为它可能从几千字节到几兆字节不等,但是如果您想从文档中去除尽可能多的脂肪,那总是值得做的。
As a bonus, we’ve also seen this copy/paste to a new document trick solve weird errors in Word documents that were hard to track down otherwise.
另外,我们还看到了将这种复制/粘贴到新文档的技巧上,可以解决Word文档中怪异的错误,否则这些错误将很难找到。
可能有助于减小文档尺寸的提示 (Tips that Might Help Reduce a Document’s Size)
Some tips seem like they would help, but we couldn’t get a positive result with them. We’re not saying they won’t help reduce your file size, but it seems like you’ll need a particular set of circumstances to get any benefit from them. We highly recommend trying the tips from the previous section first, and then giving these a go if you need to.
一些提示似乎对他们有帮助,但是我们无法获得积极的结果。 我们并不是说它们无助于减小文件的大小,但似乎您需要特殊的情况才能从中受益。 我们强烈建议先尝试上一节中的技巧,然后在需要时尝试这些技巧。
关闭背景保存 (Turn Off Background Saves)
The more complicated a document, and the longer it’s been since you saved it, the longer it can take to save when you click the “Save” button. To help get around this, Word has a setting at File > Options > Advanced named “Allow background saves.”
文档越复杂,保存以来的时间越长,单击“保存”按钮时保存时间就越长。 为解决此问题,Word在“文件”>“选项”>“高级”中有一个名为“允许后台保存”的设置。

This setting is enabled by default and saves the document in the background as you’re working on it. The idea is that when you click “Save,” there will be fewer changes to save, and so it will save a lot quicker. This is largely a throwback to the days when Word took up a proportionally larger amount of system resources, and on modern systems, it’s probably not required, especially if you’re not editing hugely long or complicated documents.
此设置默认情况下处于启用状态,并且在您处理文档时将其保存在后台。 这个想法是,当您单击“保存”时,要保存的更改将更少,因此可以更快地保存。 这在很大程度上可以回溯到Word占用相应比例的大量系统资源的时代,而在现代系统上,可能不需要这样做,尤其是当您不编辑非常长或复杂的文档时。
The jury is out on whether this makes a difference to file size. Leaving a document open with this setting on didn’t make any difference to the size of our test document (whereas leaving AutoRecover turned on did increase the file size). Making modifications over a period of about 30 minutes also didn’t cause the document size to change appreciably, regardless of whether “Allow background saves” was on or off. Neither did having it turned off change how quickly the document saved.
是否会影响文件大小尚待商ry。 离开打开文档与此设置并没有使我们的测试文件的大小有什么区别(而离开自动恢复开启确实增加文件大小)。 在大约30分钟的时间内进行修改也不会导致文档大小发生明显变化,无论是否启用了“允许后台保存”。 关闭它并没有改变文档保存的速度。
In short: this one is up to you. If turning it off doesn’t reduce your file size then leave it on, because anything that Word does to save your documents automatically is a good thing.
简而言之:这取决于您。 如果关闭它并不能减小文件大小,请保持打开状态,因为Word所做的任何自动保存文档的操作都是一件好事。
转换为RTF,然后转换回DOCX (Convert to RTF and Then Convert Back to DOCX)
RTF stands for Rich Text Format, and it’s an open standard for documents that provides a bit more formatting than plain text, but not all the bells and whistles of DOCX. The idea of converting a DOCX to RTF is that it strips away all of the extra formatting and any hidden data so that when you save your RTF back as a DOCX file, the file size will be smaller.
RTF代表Rich Text Format ,它是文档的开放标准,比纯文本提供更多的格式设置,但不是DOCX的所有细节。 将DOCX转换为RTF的想法是,它会剥离所有额外的格式和任何隐藏的数据,以便在将RTF另存为DOCX文件时,文件的大小会变小。
Converting our 20 page, 721 KB test document to RTF turned the file size to 19.5 MB (so don’t use RTF if you want a small file). Converting it back to DOCX resulted in a file that was 714 KB. That’s a 7 KB saving—less than 1%—and because RTF couldn’t handle some of the simple table formatting we used, we had to reformat….which brought the size back up to 721 KB.
将我们20页的721 KB测试文档转换为RTF,将文件大小更改为19.5 MB(因此,如果您要使用小文件,请不要使用RTF)。 将其转换回DOCX产生的文件为714 KB。 这节省了7 KB的空间,不到1%,而且由于RTF无法处理我们使用的某些简单表格式,因此我们不得不重新格式化……,使大小恢复到721 KB。
This one doesn’t seem like it will have many benefits to your document, especially when the modern DOCX has so many formatting capabilities that RTF can’t handle.
这似乎并不会为您的文档带来很多好处,尤其是当现代DOCX具有如此之多的格式功能而RTF无法处理的时候。
转换为HTML,然后转换回DOCX (Convert to HTML and Then Convert Back to DOCX)
This is the same idea as converting to RTF, except that HTML is a web format. Our conversion test showed almost identical results to using RTF.
除了HTML是Web格式外,这与转换为RTF的想法相同。 我们的转换测试显示与使用RTF几乎相同的结果。
We tried this on our 721 KB DOCX file, and it converted it to a 383 KB HTML file. Converting it back to DOCX resulted in a 714 KB file. That’s a 1% saving, but it did mess with the formatting, especially the headers, and these would have to be redone.
我们在721 KB DOCX文件上进行了尝试,然后将其转换为383 KB HTML文件。 将其转换回DOCX后,文件大小为714 KB。 这节省了1%,但确实与格式(尤其是标头)一团糟,因此必须重做。
解压缩文档并压缩 (Unzip the Document and Compress It)
A DOCX document is a compressed file, like an archive you make with 7-Xip or WinRar. This means you can open it with one of those tools and see all of the contents. One tip you might see is to extract all the files from your DOCX, add them to a compressed archive, and then rename that archive to a DOCX file extension. Hey presto, you’ve got a Word document that’s been compressed! In theory, this sounds plausible but using both 7-Zip and WinRar and various archive formats we found that every time we tried to open the .docx file we’d created, Word told us that the file was corrupted.
DOCX文档是压缩文件,就像您使用7-Xip或WinRar创建的存档一样。 这意味着您可以使用这些工具之一打开它并查看所有内容。 您可能会看到的一个提示是,从DOCX中提取所有文件,将它们添加到压缩档案中,然后将该档案重命名为DOCX文件扩展名。 嗨,很高兴,您的Word文档已被压缩! 从理论上讲,这听起来很合理,但是使用7-Zip和WinRar以及各种存档格式,我们发现每次尝试打开创建的.docx文件时,Word都会告诉我们该文件已损坏。
There may be some merit in this idea—our 721 KB file did end up as only 72 KB—but we wouldn’t recommend it unless you want to spend a lot of time playing around with it to try and get it working. Also, the saving might merely be because the compression process has removed/compressed something that stops Word from opening the document, but we can’t be sure.
这个想法可能有一些优点-我们的721 KB文件最终只有72 KB-但是我们不建议您这样做,除非您想花很多时间尝试一下以使其正常工作。 另外,节省的原因可能仅仅是压缩过程已删除/压缩了某些东西而导致Word无法打开文档,但是我们不能确定。
普遍建议的提示可能不会有任何不同 (Commonly-Suggested Tips That Likely Won’t Make Any Difference)
There are a few suggestions floating around the internet that sound sensible but won’t have much of an effect. That’s not to say you shouldn’t try them, just that you shouldn’t expect much impact on the size of your document.
互联网上有一些建议听起来很明智,但没有多大作用。 这并不是说您不应该尝试使用它们,只是不希望对文档的大小产生太大影响。
删除文档的先前版本 (Remove Previous Versions of the Document)
Word keeps previous versions of your document as you work on it. This is the AutoSave functionality, and some people suggest deleting these by going to File > Info > Manage Document and removing any old versions.
在处理文档时,Word会保留文档的早期版本。 这是自动保存功能,有人建议通过转到文件>信息>管理文档并删除所有旧版本来删除它们。
However, there’s no point doing this because those old versions are stored in the Windows file system, not in your Word document. Deleting them won’t make your document any smaller. If you want to remove any previous version information from within the document, either copy the content to a brand-new document or do a File > Save As to save to a new document, as we suggested previously.
但是,这样做没有意义,因为那些旧版本存储在Windows文件系统中,而不是Word文档中。 删除它们不会使您的文档变小。 如果要从文档中删除任何以前的版本信息,请按照前面的建议将内容复制到全新的文档中,或执行“文件”>“另存为”以保存到新文档中。
仅粘贴文本,不粘贴格式 (Paste Text Only, Not the Formatting)
When you want to copy and paste from one document into your current document, you can use different paste options.
要从一个文档复制并粘贴到当前文档中时,可以使用不同的粘贴选项。

The default option used if you click the “Paste” button (or press Ctrl+V) is “Keep Source Formatting.” This copies non-default fonts and formatting like bold, italics, and so on. But if you click the “Keep Text Only” option instead, this will—or so the theory goes—reduce the file size by removing the formatting.
如果您单击“粘贴”按钮(或按Ctrl + V),则使用的默认选项是“保持源格式”。 这将复制非默认字体和格式,如粗体,斜体等。 但是,如果您改为单击“仅保留文本”选项,那么(理论上如此)将通过删除格式来减小文件大小。
We tried this with a 20-page document that had various formatting applied to text on every page, and the average size difference was just under 2 KB per page. This might be significant if you’ve got a 250+ page document, where it would total up to around 0.5 MB, but are you really going to have a 250-page Word document with no formatting? Probably not, because it would be mostly unreadable, so you’d lose your savings when you add the formatting back in.
我们用一个20页的文档尝试了此操作,该文档将各种格式应用于每页文本,并且平均大小差异仅为每页2 KB。 如果您有一个250页以上的文档,该文档总计约0.5 MB,那么这可能很重要,但是您真的要拥有250页且无格式的Word文档吗? 可能不是,因为大多数情况下它不可读,因此,当您重新添加格式时,您将损失您的积蓄。
Any benefits to this method are probably down to the tip we gave above – copy and paste the whole document into a new document to remove previous versions, old editing changes, and so on.
这种方法的任何好处都可能取决于我们上面提供的技巧-将整个文档复制并粘贴到新文档中,以删除以前的版本,旧的编辑更改等。
更改页面大小 (Change the Size of the Page)
Word gives you the option to change the page size by going to Layout > Size and changing from the default “Letter” size. There are tips floating about that say if you choose a smaller, but similar size like “A4” other readers won’t notice, and you get a small size saving.
Word为您提供了更改页面大小的选项,方法是转到“布局”>“大小”,然后从默认的“信纸”大小更改。 有一些技巧提示,如果您选择较小但类似“ A4”的尺寸,其他读者不会注意到,这样可以节省尺寸。
We tried this with a 20-page document using “Letter” size that was 721 KB. We changed the size to “A4,” “A5,” (which is half the size of “A4”), and “B5” and our document remained a steady 721 KB every time. In other words, it made no difference to the file size at all.
我们尝试了20页的文档,使用“ Letter”大小为721 KB。 我们将大小更改为“ A4”,“ A5”(是“ A4”的一半)和“ B5”,并且我们的文档每次都保持稳定的721 KB。 换句话说,它对文件大小完全没有影响。
停止嵌入语言数据 (Stop Embedding Linguistic Data)
There is a setting in File > Options > Advanced named “Embed linguistic data,” and you’ll see tips in various places telling you to turn this off. On the surface, this sounds reasonable—wouldn’t extra linguistic data increase the size of a document?
在“文件”>“选项”>“高级”中有一个名为“嵌入语言数据”的设置,您会在各个位置看到提示,提示您将其关闭。 从表面上看,这听起来很合理-额外的语言数据会不会增加文档的大小?
In short, the answer is no if you’re using a modern .docx file. Word handles the linguistic data behind the scenes, and it doesn’t take up any room in the document.
简而言之,如果您使用的是现代.docx文件,答案是否定的。 Word处理幕后的语言数据,并且不占用文档中的任何空间。
Turning this option off can make a slight difference to older .doc files, but even then only if you’ve used a handwriting tool and Word has some “handwriting recognition correction information” to store. Otherwise, it makes no difference at all.
禁用此选项可能与较旧的.doc文件略有不同,但是即使如此,只有在您使用手写工具并且Word 可以存储一些“手写识别更正信息”的情况下,该文件才会稍有不同。 否则,它完全没有区别。
That’s our fairly comprehensive list of ways you can cut your Word files down to size, but we’re always on the lookout for new methods to try (or debunk). Fire away in the comments if you know a technique that we’ve missed, and we’ll check it out!
这是我们比较全面的方法,您可以将Word文件缩减为小尺寸,但是我们一直在寻找尝试(或解密)的新方法。 如果您知道我们错过了一项技术,请在评论中提出建议,我们将予以检查!
