I then took my final draft Word document that I intend to send out
(produced on WinXP [4500kb] that produced a pdf of 140kb) and saved it
as a word document in linux from OO. It came out as 3.6MB. Yeah, MB,
not KB. I took that document and printed it to postscipt (2.7MB). I
converted that to pdf and it came in at 2.2MB.

Can you tell me which software you used to produced the document in
Windows? I would like to do some testing. The files size you are getting
looks fishy to me. The OO one I expected to be larger, but 3.6 MB is
insane. The one you produced from Windows XP is smaller than I expected-
are you sure fonts are embedded (you can check that in the document
properties in a pdf reader)?
