Description dan_lewis 2006-09-22 15:17:46 UTC 
Create a file with a single letter. (I used a small "a.") Save it as a
*.odt file. The save it as a *.doc file. The *.odt file is 7070 bytes while the
*.doc file is 102.0KB. I also saved a file with 1.5 pages as a *.odt file and
Save As a *.doc file. The *.odt file was 13.1KB while the *.doc file was 114.0KB.

Comment 4 mestech 2006-09-22 19:55:50 UTC 
I have tried this as well.

On FC4 using OOo Milestone 8, the files I created showed the following.

103936 Sep 22 07:14 File_size_test.doc
  6916 Sep 22 07:14 File_size_test.odt

A single capital "A" was saved.

With a 10 page document of 20,071 characters.

No real formatting.

When I looked at the *.doc files using hexedit, there were a large number of
locations just filled with FF's or 00's.  Comparing to an original *.doc file
created on Windows, there were no large FF's or 00's ranges.

Ok, this is a duplicate of Issue 67371.
Please post your comments to that original Issue- I think this is the best way
to get the problem re-investigated.

regards,
Andrew
