The Gzip Compressed source uses lossless encoding. The Word 97-2003 output uses lossless encoding. Since both share the same compression philosophy, quality transfer is highly efficient. Xonvert's conversion engine analyzes your Gzip Compressed source and selects the optimal encoding strategy for Word 97-2003 output. HTTP servers use gzip content-encoding for 60-80% smaller web responses Maximum file size approximately 512 MB These implementation details are handled automatically by the converter.
