Default How do I stop the "Too many different cell formats" ?

Reduce the number of formats in your workbook.

Some info:

XL: Error Message: Too Many Different Cell Formats
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=213904

If the file gets too bad, excel may not even open it.

If that happens, then a few people have posted that they could open the file in
OpenOffice, then remove some of the formatting, save it and then excel would
open that file ok.

http://www.openoffice.org, a 60-65 meg download or a CD
