We have a Table that is linked XLS file, and not only is it unusually difficult and slow to work within the file, but it creates a 35mb DWF. UGH! The Table has about 65 lines and about 20 columns...not huge.

We have other tables that Link to XLS that don’t have this issue. These all link from the same XLS, and we've compared properties values, and all looks good. The only difference is that the problem file has its Table in Layout, rather than Model. And that’s because it’s impossible to work with in Model... DWG performance goes in the tank. We're even tired to recreate the file from a clean DWG... we get the same result…so it has to be something with our Table.

Does anyone have suggestions to resolve this issue? Thank you.
