Hi,

I have a Excel file which is built in Excel 2007 and it comes up to 3MB when saved as .xlsm(2007 format). But when i try to save it in Excel 2003 format(.xls) its size goes up to 17MB. I could not figure out why this happens.
Is there any way to maintain the same size when i migrate from 2007 to 2003

Thanks in advance
Cheers :)
