file size grows so big

[zy1972]

Hi,

Some of my Excel files are very big, even though they are very simple files.
Espcially when I copied from old file to new ones and make updates. If I do
it from scratch, the size will be a lot smaller.

Is there anything I can do to reduce the file size? sometimes, you can
choose all blank area and delete. it will work. But most of the time, it does
not work.

Please help

Glenn
