3. Delete "Slow-motion" Worksheet File Size drop dramatically
4. Copy & Paste data from "Problem" file File size increase litte bit

Test #2

After deleting the unused rows and columns did you SAVE the workbook.

Some versions require a sav/close and reopen before changes take effect.

My file size is 700 KB for a spreadsheet with little text and few
formulas with links but no macros. I deleted the cells to the right
and bottom of the cells being used and the size stays the same; even
deleting all of the cells in the workbook does not change the size. I
cut the spreadsheet and pasted into a new file and the new file has
the same size as the original. Any ideas? Thanks!
