I created another test folder and as I deleted data from it I noticed the
size of the file would change too. I compressed the pics in the file in
question and I noticed the size changed but deleting pics, pages, data. Size
remains unchanged. Me very confused!!! Any help please!
 
Are you completely deleting the rows/columns? or are you hitting
Edit-->Clear--All, then saving?
If not, perhaps your cells are still holding "dirtiness". :) Sometimes, you
just need to copy all the worksheets to a new workbook to get rid of
bloating.

Thanks for your help. I am deleting rows, columns, pics. The folder size
remains at 25.1 M. I have about half a page of numbers nothing else. I also
copied this worksheet to my test folder and the folder size went up 25+ Meg.
I tried compressing the folder on disk size went down about 1/2 meg. Any
suggestions?
