Hector,
We are testing using HTML. We found we could not print using Internet
Explorer 3.02. We upgraded to Internet Explorer 4.01 and our printing
problems were solved.
I, too, have had this problem (my largest document got close to 20mg). I think Business Objects explained it as a “feature”, reserving space for the largest data set you ever saved in the document. The best method I know of for shrinking the file is to save the report(s) as a template, then start with a new document, recreate the query and apply the template. BO is messy about applying templates, though, so you will still need to check the source of every cell, and the syntax of every formula/variable.

The bigger problem you will encounter is that the layout you see in BO
is not going to be the exact html layout (due to html).
The other problem is that the html generated by BO is not optimized at
all.
BO divide your report into rows and columns and create many tables with
you report as consequence that for a little report with 10 or 15 rows
and 5 to 10 columns you have sometimes a
report above 300 to 500 Kb.
You must pay attention to make a layout as simple as possible.
