Default Formatting cells

I notice that when I use the "rich" graphics options available in EXCEL to
format presentations and worksheets, I occasionally run up against a common
error message: "Too many cell formats!"

Now to be frank, I rarely come across this until workbooks get to be about
2.5 MB or over 3-7 worksheets deep. Inasmuch as I do a lot of highly complex
workbooks, sometimes 25-35 sheets deep, and because I use formatting and
graphics to highlight things for presentation purposes, I get these error
messages.

It's NOT the hardware because the system is more than capable of handling
piddly little spreadsheets. By the way these errors would not occur in the
far superior QUATTRO or LOTUS products, but what can I say...I am stuck using
EXCEL. Can anyone tell me if there is a "default limit imposed by graphic
properties by EXCEL, something that will over-ride this limitation? I've had
workbooks much bigger than 2.5 MB's in the past on this and many other
machines. This is a Dell w/ 2+ processors, 2.0 GB running Excel 2003 under
WinXP. Anyone have any ideas?
