If your hard drive is formated FAT32 then the max file size is approx. 2GB,
if your drive is NTFS then file size is unlimited. I suggest that you don't
let the file get bigger than 500MB though, it starts becoming really arduos
to handle.

To reduce file size, most obvious is to elliminate all unecessary formating
(Italic, bold, borders, cell fill etc.). Also experiment with fonts, you will
notice that different fonts produce different file sizes (but this is only
really important when you have very large databases).

If this helps, please click "Yes"
