XL: Error Message: Too Many Different Cell Formats
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=213904

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.

http://www.openoffice.org, a 60-104 meg download or a CD

When I am working in excel- and I try editing the format of a cell (like
merging 2 together) I get a pop-up that tells me "Too Many Different Cell
Formats".

It doesn't give me any options of what that means- or how to fix it.

Has anyone encountered this problem? I really need help.

Any replies appreciated-
