Default Minimum File Size?

I'm interested in making an Excel 2003 spreadsheet downloadable from the web.
I've created a single sheet, single cell (a1 contains "x") and filed it.
This consumes 13.5k. What procedure(s) would you advise to make it smaller
for download purposes?

Another alternative...save the file as a .CSV (Comma separated values).

3 bytes (not even KB...just B). That is about as small as you are
going to get.

Of course, said CSV file will not preserve any formatting, but it does
keep the data in the proper rows and columns :).
