I have the following message appear when I save one of my files:

€œExcel could not save all the data and formatting you reently added to €˜File
Name. To return to your workbook wwithout saving click Cancel. If you want
to continue saving changes without repairing the problem, Click Ok.€�

I then click on help to see what the problem is but nothing appears.

What does this message mean and how can I fix it?

Thanks,

Jane.

Maybe:

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

And if you ever have trouble opening this file, you may want to try openOffice.

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

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.
