Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer file increase in size

Original file.doc - 0.3 MB with all linked images, as you wrote in 
another post in this thread. Ok

> If I open the doc and then save as doc-a.odt, the size jumps up by 0.3 MiB to 8.4.

So now you've get doc-a.odt - 8.4 MB.

Probably size increases because all linked images now are included and 
no more linked. May you check it?

> If I then keep doc-a.odt still open and save as doc-b.odt, the size doesn't move and remains at

So now you've get doc-b.odt - 8.1 MB.

Ehm....sorry, you said that "size doesn't move" but you wrote doc-a.odt 
was 8.4 MB. May you clarify?

Not so clear for me which jump you are talking about.

doc-b.odt was 8.1 MB and now you say that it starts from 0.3 MB

> That seems repeatable. The first 'save as' after opening the file causes the size to increase.

But the first step could cause size increment if images are included and 
not linked.

> doc-a2.odt doesn't cause any further size increase.  Doc-a2 stays at 8.4 MiB.

It's extremely expected.
