File size too big after converting Lotus 1-2-3 to Excel
Hi, I imported a Lotus 1-2-3 file (in .wk4 format) into Excel 2003, and then
saved the file in Excel format. However, the size of the converted file was really big. Original Lotus 1-2-3 file size: 500 KB Converted Excel file: 14MB It seems that the converted file has a lot of free space in it as the zipped version is only about 400 KB. Please help if you encountered this problem before. Thanks. K Learner |
