You can try a couple of things. First, try doing a save as and give it new name. Sometimes that will reduce the size. Also, on each of your sheets, start in cell A1 and do a ctrl=shift-end. This will take you to the end of the data. See if something go input into a cell that you weren't aware of. If the ctrl-shift-end, takes you to the end of the worksheet, you can try deleting all the rows and columns from where your data actually ends to the end of the sheet. Then do another save as. You can do a save as to the same file. Be sure to make a backup before taking any steps to be sure you don't lose anything. Hope this helps.

Not sure if you can answer this question on this emailing list but I created an Excel Spreadsheet that is pretty basic and currently does not have anything put into it besides some formatting. I have about 5 tabs that is just adds up 4 columns so when I put info in them it will give me the sum. This document is 29. MB now, why is it so large and what did I do wrong.
