Summary:

Custom formats created under Multiplan versions 4.00, 4.01, and 4.20 are saved to MP.INI. There are two ways to delete custom formats. The first method is to delete the MP.INI file. This method has a side effect of deleting all options such as colors, menu options, etc. The second method requires the removal of the custom format from all worksheets. The Format Replace command is useful for this purpose.

More Information:

To remove a custom format from a worksheet, do the following:


 * 1) Load the spreadsheet file that contains the custom format.
 * 2) Choose Replace from the Format menu. Type the custom format name in the “replace:” field (or press the UP ARROW key and select the format name from the list). Press the TAB key once to move to the “with:” field.
 * 3) In the “with:” field, type “none” (without the quotation marks). Press the ENTER key.
 * 4) Save the spreadsheet (choose Transfer Save).

For more information, please refer to the “Format Replace” Section on Page A-57 of the “Microsoft Multiplan Addendum” for Multiplan versions 4.00 and 4.01. Please refer to Page 129 of the “Microsoft Multiplan User’s Guide” for Multiplan version 4.20.
