I am working on office 2007 prof - my spreadsheet should be read by
colleagues using 2003 and ideally 2000 versions.
While I was able to save the file as xls in the past, I am now getting error
messages re too many formats being used. Running the compatability chequer, I
have removed conditional formatting from two columns taking care of one
listed issue. The remaining one stating too many formats does not help me.
How can I deal with it?

Is there any function to remove all formatting. My spreadsheet would look
terrible but at least everyone has access to the data in there.
Any other way to sensibly work with or in older versions.
