Copying just parts of clips

Hi all.  I'm working on mixing a live recording and thus the .wavs I imported are a few hours long.  The thing is, I want to single out specific songs and copy/paste them over into new projects so I can really take the screws to them.  The problem is, when I highlight the sections I want and paste them they show up as the right length (about 4 minutes) but all the extra stuff comes along on either end (Of course it's not visible, but if I drag out the clip it's just everything along with it) so the dang file ends up being GIGANTIC.
 
Does anyone know how to deal with this?  How do I copy JUST that four minutes of the song so that I can feasibly work on this thing?
 
Thanks!

    Two options.
     
    1. Select the Clip and choose Clips > Apply Trimming.
    2. Separate the long file into separate clips. Then choose Save As... to a new folder and check "Copy all audio with project" and "Create One File per Clip." The project's audio folder will have each clip as its own file.

    The first 3 books in "The Musician's Guide to Home Recording" series are available from Hal Leonard and http://www.reverb.com. Listen to my music on http://www.YouTube.com/thecraiganderton, and visit http://www.craiganderton.com. Thanks!

    Just to be clear option #1 is performed in the new project trimming the copied tracks, not the original project.
