different cell formats".

There's a guy in our company that has created this HUGE
spreadsheet - and now they can't open it because it gives
the error message "too many different cell formats". I
know how to resolve the issue if I can open the file - is
it too far gone? Is there any way to open this file?

Any help is appreciated! Thanks so much!
 
xl2002 has a better reputation for opening files that xl2k and before couldn't.
So if you're not using xl2002, you may want to see if you can find a copy so you
can try it.

And I think I read someone post that they had pretty good success using
OpenOffice (a 60 meg file from OpenOffice.org or an inexpensive CD).
