Thanks Dave

Actually some time ago I experienced a corruption of a Word file which
contained a large multi-page table and I managed to solve the problem by
following the Open Office procedure. I tried it out as a last resort after
the save-to-web page approach
failed.

I shall try this procedure out with my excel file and post the result.

XL: Error Message: Too Many Different Cell Formats

A few people have said that OpenOffice.Org has been able to open the file. Then
they clean it up and save it there. Then excel can open that cleaned up
version.

Further to my question.
I am trying to remove some formatting (am avoiding the Edit-Clear-Format
command for the moment as this will require me to carry out a major
reformatting of over 60 worksheets), but I am not being permitted to undo
such formats. I basiccally need to avoid redoing most of my work.
