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

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?

How do you exactly paste it? "As linked" is notably a file inflator.
