stop error message "too many different cell formats"

J

My workbook has 16 tabs in it. The largest tab has 710 rows of data and 30
columns. There are several vlookups going on in the various tabs, but the
formulas are all very basic, nothing complex. I do however have multiple
cell formatting going on. I will color code, bold and underline a cell (not
all cells though). I will do this throughout each tab. I periodically get
an error message "too many different cell formats" when I try to format a new
cell, or add to the formatting of a cell. If I save, close and re-open, I
can get the program to accept a few more formats before it starts with the
error message again. I do not want to break up the workbook, as many
different people use it. Is there any way to get around this error message,
so I do not have to keep opening and closing the workbook? I am afraid that
it will freeze me from formatting anything new very soon.
