In Excel 2003, why does the format cells option not work?

Thanks for the suggestion, but the problem is still there.

Hi Ernie H. Each spreadsheet can have only so many formats, around 4,000 I
think. You might try making a copy of your spreadsheet, selecting the entire
sheet and eliminating all formats except the font to see if you can then
start formatting again. HTH

We have an "Inspection master" form that has been cut/pasted, cell formatted
and re-formatted many times. Now when selecting cells and cell groups the
format cells function does not work.
