[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1809505, member: 190607"] While Mac files usually have some meta-data included that Win doesn't append, it's usually tiny. Office/Win and Office/Mac files are "binary compatible across platforms". In other words, they are identical, not a different format that requires translation to go from one platform to the other. If anything, you might expect Office files saved on Windows to be bigger than those saved on the Mac, because the Windows version of Office can embed fonts in the file, while the Mac version cannot.
