Ihave been working with downloaded data and pasting a years worth at a time into a "template" that I want all the resulting spreadsheets to look like. Each years data has approximately the same amount of data in it. Seems each spreadsheet is taking more and more space as I work on them? Any ideas what I have done?

Are you getting just a few percent increase with each file, or was there one file where you picked up a huge increase?
One thing to check it to see where the last active cell on the sheet is. Hit the end key, then hit the home key. (don't hold them both down together. Hit one, then the other). This will take you to the last active cell on the worksheet. If you data extends out to column H1 and down to cell A366, the End-Home should take you to cell H366.
If, for some reason, End-Home takes you to WAY below where you think your data ends, then check to see if you have a blank entry down there. Or, just delete the rows between then end of your data and that last active cell. You then have to save and re-open the file to reclaim the space previously used by those rows.
The other possibility under Excel 97 - do you have Excel set to "Track Changes"? This would be located under the Tools menu.
