File size limits-Excel 2003

[Guest]

Created a simple file 35 rows by 8 columns, text & numbers only which can print on one 8.5x11 sheet of paper.
When saving to newly formatted 3.5" disk on A drive, got a 'file too large' error message. Looked at PROPERTIES and file size is 3.31 MB. Unable to reduce file size. Unable to 'delete' excess cells.
HELP!

Hi
First: NEVER save directly to a floppy disk. This is one of the main
causes for corrupted files. ALWAYS save to a harddisk and manually copy
the file

For your question: check:

to re-set the used range

are there other things in the other work sheets? try deleting those. also you could zip (XP). Just some thoughts.
