Question Help with MS Word "bloat:?

I have a 23 page MS word document consisting of a number of tables which is updated from time to time.

It has now become painfully large (like about 1.92Mb) and I know that a goodly part of the bloat is down to MS Word's habit of squirreling away all the things that have been deleted over a period of time.

I do know that one can get rid of all the saved history by opening it as a text document and then pasting it all into a new MS Word document. But then I'm going to lose all the tables.

Does anyone out there know of a slightly more elegant way of getting rid of the history so that I can get it down to a more manageable size and not lose the tables?

Just for reference, I'm using MS Word 2000

Thanks in anticipation ...
