document in Word format using a generic name Open Font Format Specification

single word formatted document is about 8Mbytes but the zipped file is about
1MB. The source document, OpenType v 1.4, consists of various formatted
files such as html and word format with a lot of hyperlinks, whereas the
proposed text is a single word document, which contains minor editorial not
technical changes, and it would be easier to review.</span></font><span
