Default replace all formulas with values in multiple worksheets

It is simple. You just need to use PasteSpecial. the problem may be that
excel doesn't like to shrink workbooks once they beome very large. Yo may
need to pust the results into a new workbook to get it to reduce to a very
small size.

1) Select the entire worksheet by typing Cntl-A.
2) Copy selected area by type Cntl-C
3) Go the edit menu and select PasteSpecial. Then choose values and press
OK.

This will return the results onto the current worksheet.

You may want to open a new workbook and pastespecial onto a new worksheet so
the size of the file really shrinks a lot.

I have 4 65MB excel 2003 workbooks, each with 125 sheets of data. Each sheet
has multiple array and non-array formulas filled down for 100 rows x 20
columns. I need to email these workbooks, but when zipped, each is still over
7MB. Is there an easy way to remove all formulas in all worksheets at one
time, but still leave the final calculated values? Using paste specialvalues
one worksheet at a time would be a huge chore.
