Word Document Question

I received a 4-page word document in my e-mail. I saved it in My Documents; it says Type:  MS Office, Size 48 KB (for all 4 pages)
Then I made a copy of it and saved it in the same folder. Of it, it says Type: MS Word, Size 22 KB (still all 4 pages)
Then I printed one of the 4 pages, added my signature and scanned it back into the computer in PDF format. In the same folder, it now says Type: Foxit PDF Document, Size 709 KB.
Then I converted this one page back to a .doc file. In the same folder, it now says Type: MS Office, Size 2357 KB.

Is that what happens when you convert from .doc to .pdf to .doc? And is there a way to add this one page to the original 4 pages to make one document with 5 pages?

I am running Office 2010 and have never worked with Office work before.

How did you convert from .pdf to .doc?
Yes, converting files can lead to interesting sizes. Formatting codes play a big part. 
I don't understand about adding the "one page to the original 4 pages" - if you have the scanned page and it is a text file and not an image, you can certainly combine the two documents with a copy/paste.

Hahaha! How come I didn't think of that?  I guess sometimes I am so convinced that things have to be complicated that I can't figure out the simple ones!
I converted from .pdf to .doc by using an on-line free service here:  http://www.pdftoword.com/   Very convenient when you need a conversion only once or twice a year!

Thanks for your reply, Steve. Maybe from now on I'll be able to remember copy/paste!

Sometimes we do tend to overlook the simple solutions. Glad that I could help and thanks for the link. I was trying to determine if you had somehow taken the scanned text in as an image rather than text.
