File Size Bloat

[el cheque]

I  have 5 files that are combined into a "package" The file sizes of the individual files are: 377 kb, 477 kb, 373 kb, 458 kb and 3.5 MB. When I combine them I get a file size anywhere from 14 MB to 26 MB (different results upon combining). When I tyr reducing the file size, I get an error message that reads, "error encountered while processing images". The problem is that these files contain no images.
