I have a large spreadsheet with many different formats. I now get an error
message that states "Too Many Different Cell Formats". Is there something
that would allow me to continue with adding more different cell formats?

Also, as I have been trying to get consistency in my document, I keep
getting the error message and am not allowed to bring consistency to the
formatting.
