I select A1 then scroll down to D3636 and copy. I open a brand new Word file
and create a table with 4 columns and 3636 rows, select the the table in the
same way I did the Excel cells and paste.
I thought there might be some embedded commands or something in Excel that
was causing this bloat or something else I could turn off. Something strange
is going on moving from 367K to 5.7M.

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

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. :-)

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?
