RE: Excel Files

Hello Adam

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

Excel files don't normally get a lot bigger all of a sudden unless there is a reason for it, so this is a difficult question to answer.

One of the most commonly documented reasons for file size increase in 2007 version, is when files are saved in .xls format (97-2003 compatible) the file size tends to be larger than when saving as a .xlsx (2007 version) format.

Kind regards
Amanda

Excel tip:

Rotating Text in an Excel 2010 Worksheet

Maybe you want to draw attention to certain text or you just simply want to make your worksheet look more exciting!

One of the things you might consider is, rotating the text in a particular cell or set of cells.

1) Select a cell you would like to rotate
2) Click the ''Home'' tab in the Ribbon
3) Click ''orientation'' in the ''Alignment'' section
4) A pop up menu will appear with a few choices, if you want to decide yourself how many degrees to rotate the text, then click ''Format Cell Alignment.''
