Yes I did save the files under different names, I even closed and opened
Excel. You can see that file size changes when I copy-paste the cells
individually or with values only. I can send you the file if you wish,

you'll
see it is emply and still < 300kB

Hi,
I have an Excel file of 1 worksheet, containing data in about 20 rows

by
20
columns, which is 310 kB ! I noticed copying the range of cells A3:E7

and
pasting it doubles the file size, but I cannot find anything wrong in
those
cells. I tried the following:
1) If I copy all worksheet and paste it in a new worksheet file, the

new
file size is the same, 300kB
2) If I copy and paste all the data column by column, the new file

size is
16 kB !
3) If I copy all worksheet and paste values only, the new file size is

14
kB
4) If I delete all the data and the cell formats in the original
worksheet,
I still get a large size of 300 kB !
This is weird. I have nothing in the worksheet, no hidden worksheet,

and I
really deleted the rows and columns by selecting them and pressing

DELETE.
When I press CTRL-END, the cursor stays at cell A1.

Please help me understand this !

Thanks,
Anik
