How do you open a new workbook?

Maybe you have a book.xlt template file in your XLStart folder that is huge?

Use windows start button|search to look for XLStart (or book.xlt) and see if
this could be the problem.

When I open a new workbook in excel, I get a a workbook with 34.2MB size.
Even after a small amount of data is entered and saved the file still is
34.2MB. This makes it too big an attachment to e-mail. Any ideas?
