[dba-Tech] Excel bloat question

Wow -- I had no idea -- thanks Jon! I wanted to write about bloat on an
Office blog, but didn't know if it really mattered.

Yes, totally. We've got some spreadsheets at work that just keep track of
courier requests etc, and they have lines added, removed, and coloured maybe
10 times a day. After a year or so, they get to a big enough size that some
of the lower end PCs just can't open them, and that's only around the 5-6mb
mark.
