too many different cell formats

[sonshinegirl]

I click on 1 cell to make a format change and it won't change it and I get
the "too many different cell formats", how do I get excel to accept my
changes.

delete some other ones. there is a limit to the # of cell formats you
can have & obviously you have hit it.

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.
