I have tried the Open Office procedure and it has worked. Now I am in a
position to reformat the file. Until I tried this procedure I was finding it
very difficult [well, actually impossible] to reformat the file and was about
to apply the Edit-Clear-Format command to all the sheets.

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.
