             Bug #: 51200
           Summary: Saving xls files originally created in Excel 2003
                    causes considerable increase of file size
    Classification: Unclassified

           Version: LibO 3.5.5 RC1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All

Created attachment 63167
  --> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=63167
compressed large .xls file saved initially by Libreoffice 3.5.5.1

I found this problem trying to work with time sheets originally created and
edited with Excel 2003. The file originally having size of about 100 KB after
saving in LibreOffice as .xls increases in size to 7.6 MB. After saving the
same file as .xls with OpenOffice.org 3.4 file size goes down to some 80 KB.
The same happens if previously created large .xls file is saved as .ods with
Libreoffice 3.5.5.1. 

If I reopen .xls file saved in Openoffice.org with Libreoffice 3.5.5.1 and save
it again as .xls, file size is not increasing, however saving is very slow.

Sample files follows in attachment:
Large xls file size.xls.zip - compressed large .xls file saved initially by
Libreoffice 3.5.5.1
Large xls file size.ods - the same file saved by by Libreoffice 3.5.5.1 as .ods
Large xls file size ooo.xls - large xls file saved as xls by Openoffice.org 3.4
Large xls file size ooo + lo.xls - the same file saved by Libreoffice 3.5.5.1
after saving in Openoffice.org
