Multiple Format Issue Crashing Files
Since Excel 2007 can only store a limited amount of formats, I continuously
have issues where my big files crash. I've found that this issue is due to a massive amount of Cell Styles that get created everytime I copy/paste between 2 instances of excel (ie: using multiple monitors) or when I copy in a tab from another file. My question is, how can I delete all these Cell Styles at once? I can select them one by one from the Cell Style drop down in the Home menu under Styles. This is unmanageable when there are thousands of these. |

Multiple Format Issue Crashing Files
Maybe you can use an Excel add-in (not tested in xl2007) that lists all Styles in a workbook and along side that list all unused styles. It allows you to delete all unused styles from the workbook. (custom number formats can also be listed/deleted) For those interested, the free "Formats & Styles" Excel add-in is available (via email attachment) upon request. Please provide a real name and geographic location. Included is a Word.doc install/use file(non xl2007).
