Text spreadsheet becomes too large

[Kevin]

I was sent an excel file by a member of our accounting
dept. and while it is not very large at all it has grown
to 134 mb even though it contains no graphs, imbedded
objects, special formatting or anything of that nature
that would cause it to grow this large.

Does anyone know how this can happen. The file has 3 tabs
and only uses about 20-30 rows on each tab with nothing
other than text but it has grown to 134 mb. Is there
something behind the scenes that could be causing this or
anything I can look at to find out why this file has
become so large.

Thanks!
