File size increases by 300kb without any changes?

[Yvonne G]

What can account for a file size change (from 1,344kb to 1,650 kb)?
If I copy an Excel file that has been compiled by a co-worker,
open the code without making any changes, and save the file,
there is a marked increase.

Can someone please enlighten me?

Thanks in advance

Could there be a macro running that is creating something in the file?
Might try opening the file with macros turned off ...

Here's at least one link to a very common problem. I bet you could do
web search and find many more.
