Default BIG FILE SIZE??

I have a sheet that was sent to me and ends up being 33 meg. It doesn't have
very many formulas so I can't figure why it's so large. This guy did copy
info from another worksheet and paste in, but can't see any embedded images
or other things that might make so large. How do I search for the culprit?
Thanks much.

Default BIG FILE SIZE??

Hello! These may be too simple, but try...

Go into each tab and hit CTRL+END. This will show you where the spreadsheet
ends (there may be blank rows/cells but Excel thinks there is something in
them). To get rid of the blank cells, figure out which is the "real" last
row/column of data. Highlight and Delete all empty rows/columns then hit
CTRL+HOME and save the file right away. This should re-train Excel to see the
real end of the data.

Also, try going to format-sheet-unhide to see if there are any hidden tabs
that you can unhide and delete.

Hope this helps! Good Luck!
