epub size ginormous

I've been using Calibre for over a year to convert docx files to epub. I went to convert one for a client (.docx file size = 257 kb) and the epub size has jumped from the expected tiny size to 15,000KB. I am doing nothing different and the uploaded file is the same as one I uploaded several months ago without issue.

If I take that exact same docx and run it through other converters, the resulting epub size is as expected. I don't like how it looks or I'd just use that. Calibre produces a higher quality file, but I can't function with a file this huge.

The only difference between this time and the last time I uploaded to convert is upgrading to the 4.9.1 version of Calibre. Based on the results, I have to assume there is something wrong with the latest version of Calibre.

Help. My client is on a deadline.

Thanks, Jeanne
