I have a workbook that has recently started to bloat in file size. And for once CodeCleaner (really useful add-in btw. google it if you don't already have it installed!) has failed to have a noticeable impact on the size of the file.
What I am wondering is whether this bloat could be because someone may have embedded images into the file somewhere?
Unfortunately I have two problems
- The file contains too much private information to be uploaded
- I know nothing about embedding or extracting images
What I have tried so far:
- Checked the worksheet pages for any visible image objects
- Opened the XLSM as an archive and browsed for any image files
- Checked the XML (It has a custom ribbon however the images it uses are not meant to be embedded - they are links to images outside of the workbook)
I'm looking for forum users to please provide me with one (or more!) of the following:
- A link to a free (or trial) add-in that will extract all embedded images from an Excel file
- Code to extract all embedded images from an Excel file
- Other possible causes of file bloat (in case it has nothing to do with embedded images)
