I have 2 separate xls files. One has 5 sheets, another has 1 sheet but
has
similiar text. The 5 sheet xls file is 30k in size, the other xls with
one
sheet is 987k in size. Both spreadsheets are only text. When I copy the
987k
and place into a blank spreadsheet, I still have 987k. If I delete the
contents, the size remains 987k.

Does anyone have any ideas? I have looked at
http://www.contextures.com/xlfaqApp.html#Unused but this was of no
help.
Thanks
