Thank you, Beth, for your kind assistance. I do appreciate it.
That box was not checked, so that is probably not the cause. Might there be
some other hidden commands that might cause this?

First go to File/Properties and on the Summary tab, make sure "Save Preview
Picture" isn't selected. If the embedded Excel object appears on the first
page and is part of the preview picture saved with the file then that's the
likely cause of the file bloat you are encountering.
IIRC, this was more of an issue in Word 2002 than in other versions which is
why knowing which version you are using is helpful information. :-)
Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email cannot be acknowledged.

Hello, I am trying to paste a 4 x 3636 table from Excel into a Word
table.
However, the size jumps from 365Kb to 5.7 Mb. Why is it growing THAT
big?
