Our company uses an application called Hyperion to download information from
Oracle into Excel. In order to download information I am having to use a
template devloped by Corporate. After the download, the file is quite large,
usually in the 5-7Mb range.

In order to decrease the file size I highlight the entire worksheeet and
then Copy - Paste Special - Values. Even after doing that, the still remains
at the 5-6Mb range and this becomes a problem when I try to email the file.
After doing the Copy-Paste Special I would have expected this file to be way
under 1Mb in size. I am thinking that there must be a hidden file or files or
that there is a macro some where which I can't get rid of.

Can anyone help me identify exactly why the file remains so large and then
how I can decrease the file size.

Thanks.
