A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes receiving a text document for storage within a storage device. The text document includes a plurality of words which are separated by spaces. Further, each word includes a last letter. The computer-implemented method also includes replacing the last letter of each word in the text document with a replacement symbol and removing the space after each word so as to reduce the file size of the text document to create a reduced file size text document. The computer-implemented method further includes storing the reduced file size text document within the storage device.
