Default Cant find & delete invalid formulas or links

I have a big file in Excel ( 20 sheets, a few simple formulas, and no
images). When opening, it says that there are incorrect links in formulas;
and: €śDo I want to validate them€ť. I open the tool to track errors in
formulas but I cant see the origin. I tried to copy (all) and paste, and
paste (again) the formats. But some formats are changed. Any suggestion to
erase those invalid formulas or links (I dont need the formulas)? Or to copy
and maintain the formats?
Tks x yr time.

If those incorrect links are links to other workbooks...

When I can't find links, I'll use Bill Manville's FindLink program:

Good, but i would rather not install more S.W., just fotr that.
What if I copy and paste special, w.o.formulas (since I dont really need them)
but... how can I maintain the formats? Since even copying-after- just
formats, I get changes in those formats ( e.g. columns witdh).

You can copy the sheets, then copy|paste special|values. Then the everything --
including formatting, page setup, event macros will come with that sheet.

But if I were you, I'd still bet Bill's program. It may be very handy for any
future problems.
