reducing file size
 

I have been reading the threads about reducing file size by deleting unused
cells. I tried this as I have a file that has only a tiny amount of data in
it, but was almost 2Mb in size. If I saved it as a CSV file it was only 1kb.
If I copied all the data into another file it was only 14 kb. I though it was
stupid to have to do this to reduce file size so I followed the technique
suggested in other threads to delete reducing file size by deleting unused
cells and now the unused cells are now gone. When I <ctrl end I now only get
to row two instead of row 65000 and something. However it took my computer
about 45 mins to delete the empty cells & now the file has grown just under
45Mb!
