Error message: Too many different formats of cells

João Carmona

I use Excel 2003. I have the following problem. In a "heavy" workbook I
can't change the formats of the cells. The following message appears:" Too
many different formats of cells".
What should I do?
Best regards

I've already read hat information of Microsoft. The problem is that the
wookbook doesn´t allow me to simplify the format of the cells of the
workbook. When I try it the same message appears, the Excel turns instable
and I have to use the task manager to shut down the Excel.

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.
