Files Size - 1423 Kb in Office 2003 vs. 4123 kb in 2007

Stevin

I use Quickbooks and other programs to generate Invoices and Memo's - I use
to get a file file that was email able.

Now with this file size even a SINGLE sheet Excel at 41Mb is useless - How
to you change this to something reasonable with out going back to Office 2003

Hi Stevin,

Is the Excel 2007 one a 'save as' from the original Excel 2003 version? If you resave the 2007 version as an Excel 2003 file type
what size do you get?

==============
Sames File - 1 Sheet with Data (less then 2 pages of Numbers TOTAL)
First one was on old System XP Pro and Office 2003
2nd - Vista & Office 2007

Hi Stevin,

You didn't mention the origin of the file (previous posting) or the steps to reproduce creating it from scratch. Without access to
the file or the steps it's a bit difficult to say why you're getting these sizings. Can you put links to both files on a web page,
for example?

Hi Stevin,

Unfortunately, as I mentioned without the exact steps or being able to review the copies of the actual files I don't have any
particular suggestions at this point beyond checking that when you use
File=>Save As that it's an Excel 2007 Workbook format being chosen and that you may want to try starting Excel in Office safe mode
(hold ctrl key when starting) and then create a new sheet. Charts and graph or embedded objects can create large files but your
description didn't indicate that those were issues.

If you start a new blank workbook and use Office Button=>Save
immediately, what format comes up and what is the size of the file you save with no content?

OK - Open a sheet and Saved - only 7 kb total size.
Quickbooks New sheet in Excel is still giving me the 42,493 Kb for a single
sheet Invoice or quote.

Hi Stevin,

You may want to see if there is information on this in the Intuit Quickbook forums (http://quickbooksgroup.com) . It sounds as if
you're getting 'normal' behavior when doing a new, blank Excel 2007, workbook while it also sounds as if Quickbooks is either saving
in a legacy file format or is embedding objects within the file.

You may also want to followup in the MS Office Excel discussion group using the link below. I wasn't able to duplicate the result
you're getting using Excel 2007 with Quickbooks Premier.
