Laura,

I am by no means an expert in this topic, so hopefully some of the
more knowledgable minds on the list will provide further assistance
.. however I did find a webpage that might be of interest. It
discusses some of the issues of flat document storage in general.

A link I grabbed from the conservation page of my own website. I'll
give that link too. (Oh, why not)
