Hugh,
If you could show what you did manually to go from the original
expression to the final expression, there might be a way to use the
transformation functions option to make simplify do that
automatically.

I was just wondering, what are you doing with all of these
trig/complex expressions?

f = -((2*I)/(4 - 100*((9.42477796076938 + 0.01*I) -
2*k)*(0.047123889803846894*I - k + k1)));

ee = (-1 + Cos[a*k] + I*Sin[a*k])*(6 - 3*Sr + 3*(2 + Sr)*Cos[(-2 +
a)*k] - (2 + Sr)*Cos[2*(-1 + a)*k] -
   2*Cos[a*k] + Sr*Cos[a*k] - 6*I*Sin[(-2 + a)*k] - 3*I*Sr*Sin[(-2 +
a)*k] + 2*I*Sin[2*(-1 + a)*k] +
   I*Sr*Sin[2*(-1 + a)*k] - 2*I*Sin[a*k] + I*Sr*Sin[a*k]);

e1 = (2 c q r w (-1 + Cos[k L2]))/(c S r w (4 Cos[k L1] - Cos[k (L1 -
L2)] - 3 Cos[k (L1 + L2)]) + 2 M (w - w0) (w + w0) Sin[k (L1 + L2)]);

Of course, you don't have to tell if you don't want to.

Regards,
