$Version

5.1 for Mac OS X (January 27, 2005)

Wsol={{W11->(A2*x21+A1*
          x32)/(L86^2*(-(x32*y21)+x21*y32)),W12->(A2*y21+
                A1*y32)/(-(L86^2*x32*y21)+L86^2*x21*y32),W21->(A2*x21+
          A1*x32)/(L75^2*(-(x32*y21)+x21*
            y32)),W22->(A2*y21+A1*y32)/(-
(L75^2*x32*y21)+L75^2*x21*y32)}};

FullSimplify works

Wsol = Wsol//FullSimplify

{{W11 -> (A2*x21 + A1*x32)/(L86^2*(x21*y32 - x32*y21)), 
   W12 -> -((A2*y21 + A1*y32)/(L86^2*(x32*y21 - x21*y32))), 
   W21 -> (A2*x21 + A1*x32)/(L75^2*(x21*y32 - x32*y21)), 
   W22 -> -((A2*y21 + A1*y32)/(L75^2*(x32*y21 - x21*y32)))}}

Wsol/.(-(x32*y21)+x21*y32)->2*A123

{{W11 -> (A2*x21 + A1*x32)/(2*A123*L86^2), 
   W12 -> -((A2*y21 + A1*y32)/(L86^2*(x32*y21 - x21*y32))), 
   W21 -> (A2*x21 + A1*x32)/(2*A123*L75^2), 
   W22 -> -((A2*y21 + A1*y32)/(L75^2*(x32*y21 - x21*y32)))}}

This is only partially successful since some terms have a -1 factor.  Instead, 
use a substitution rule like

Wsol /. x21*y32->2*A123+x32*y21

{{W11 -> (A2*x21 + A1*x32)/(2*A123*L86^2), 
   W12 -> (A2*y21 + A1*y32)/(2*A123*L86^2), 
   W21 -> (A2*x21 + A1*x32)/(2*A123*L75^2), 
   W22 -> (A2*y21 + A1*y32)/(2*A123*L75^2)}}
