I purchased Claris Works two weeks ago to attemp to have only *one* application
on my Powerbook (40 MB is small these days).

I am quite happy with it : easy to use, about 80% of the features of MS Word,
80% of Excel's, and 80% of Canvas 2's, plus file and comms features.

BUT WAIT :
Yesterday, I converted a 4KB spreadsheet from Excel, a quite elementary 5 columns by
24 rows, to Claris Works. The result was a file that was 32 KB sized.
(a 8 times increase) !!! My poor 40 MB disk will fill up quickly.

I suspect that there is a way to convince Claris-Works to save a file in 
less space while keeping all the informations.

Has someone studied this question before ?
Anybody from Claris listening ?

Thanks
