Default File size increases when using Microsoft Open XML Converter

Be sure not to save in XML format. If the file is in XML format, use SaveAs
to force .xls

We frequently receive invitations to tender in Excel-files. These are often
.xlsx-files. We use Excel 2003, and the converter is therefore used to open
the documents. This works most of the time, but occasionally the file size
grows dramatically when we save it (in 2003-format), typically from 5-600 kb
to 30-50Mb. Any ideas, anyone?
