Greetings,

For some weird reason, my machine hiccup and I lost all mention to
this letter except in the outbox. I still need help with this and if
you have already replied thanks but I never had the opportunity to
read any replies before that hiccup lost everything. Please repost,
thanks.

I am not sure if this is the right group for this question. If not,
could someone direct me to the right group - Thanks.

I was reformatting my sheets with a macro by copying one over another
and had completed 36 sheets when the 37th froze, an error message
appeared saying something about the image being too large then crashed
the workbook. The workbook would not reopen!!!! I had been making
backups as I was going along so that was not a problem.

What I was doing was to try and slim the workbook down (it is 28megs
and REAL slow loading.

Condition) I had hidden the extra rows and columns so that only the
working range (A1 thru X250) would be visible. I had 3 Conditional
Formats on each of these cells. Since I have 132 of these worksheets
with about 10 more for entry and printing. This is a pretty big file.

Step one)get rid off any excess formatting. In order to get to the
area in the hidden cells, I attempted to unhide the hidden rows and
columns by highlighting the entire sheet and the first
FormatRowsUnhide then FormatColumnUnhide. When the columns
became unhidden, I then highlighted all columns from Z to IV, and went
to EditClearAll. Finally, with the highlight still on the columns,I
went to EditDelete. This delete took a LONG time before it finally
finished. I then went down to row 250 and discovered that the column
unhide did not happen!!!! -Possibly the reason for the long delay.

I do not know what is wrong!

Anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this problem?

Any help or suggestions would be most appreciated.

TIA
