Does "Too many different cell formats" apply on excel 2007
Sorry, about that, I have no idea whether one might get such\
an error in Excel 2007. Nor would I move up to Excel 2007 to solve such a problem that can be solved and avoided. Format large areas rather than individual cells. I see Dana has an answer you'd probably like better. "Bob Ng Kai Sin" wrote in message ... Thanks David.

David,
Are you saying that Excel creates another internal style, even if the format combination is exactly as cell(s) formatted earlier? It's kind of hard to run down experimentally, because there seems to be no hard-and-fast rule for how many internal (and user) styles there can be. It's somewhere around 4000. -- Earl Kiosterud www.smokeylake.com Note: Top-posting has been the norm here. Some folks prefer bottom-posting. But if you bottom-post to a reply that's already top-posted, the thread gets messy.

Does "Too many different cell formats" apply on excel 2007
There are eight borders around a cell (inside/outside), before Excel 2007
there were only 56 colors, and combination of those plus cell formats is a unique format and that is what gets run up to a limit. I think if you format all of the cells together then they not only have the same format but they almost certainly have one format reference for a large range of cells rather than individual references to the same format.. -- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP -- Excel My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm "Earl Kiosterud" wrote in message ...
