Documents exported as .doc ("Word 97/2000/XP") are far larger in 2.0.3 than in
previous OOo versions (even 2.0.2). Since the file size is much larger than Word
itself creates, this causes severe problems for submitting documents that
require both .doc format and a "reasonable" file size limit. E.g, online job
applications may limit submitted documents to 100k, which is already exceeded by
a one-page cover letter created in OOo Writer.
Here are .odt and .doc file sizes for a document containing the standard "dummy
text" paragraph (1540 characters):
-----------------OOo 2.0.2 -------------------
$ ls -l dt*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 jes jes 11776 Jul 17 17:13 dt.doc
-rw-rw-r-- 1 jes jes 8874 Jul 17 17:13 dt.odt
-----------------OOo 2.0.3 -------------------
$ ls -l dt*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 joe joe 108032 Jul 17 17:12 dt.doc
-rw-rw-r-- 1 joe joe 8542 Jul 17 17:11 dt.odt
This is on a Fedora Linux 5 system but the original report came from a Windows
user, so it seems to affect at least those two platforms.
