Excel Error "No more new fonts may be applied. Please close some other documents and try again"
Bother question Excel H&B 2019 : Alert " No more new fonts may be applied" every time edit cell. File size is not that big ( 7xx KB ) but have 16 sheet ( in sheet have many formula and link )
This problum can fix by which method?
- Got the message popping for weeks and getting in the way of my productivity.
Try this:
File / Info / Check for Issues / Inspect Document
and fix the issues found.
Seems to be working for me.
Hope it helps.ruibm suggestion to fix problems within the doc also worked for me - The spreadsheet had a few circular references and formulas that were bonked, File > Info > Check for Issues > Inspect Document located the issues and we repaired each. The ambiguous font error also disappeared when the formulas were corrected and updated. If you close the file in question and open it back up, it should present you with a message indicating the underlying problem with the document. Fix the errors, save the file and close it. Once the error message disappears upon reopening the file, you should be able to continue working on the file without seeing the font error again.
Hi
Thanks for responding & your suggestion.I am still getting the message & if I have 3 Excel documents open at any one time I have to Force Quit Excel (I know it sounds a lot, but it was never a problem in the past to have multiple docs open..)
My issue is that I do get the message that I have circular references, but when I check each of the formulas they are correct!! They are just sums of cells.
I have tried "ignore" so will see what happens next!!!
- Thanks for the info.
I'm using a Mac, so using your suggestion searched for "error issues" & it found quite a few, even though as far as I was concerned there was nothing wrong with them.
I said "ignore" to each & I'll see whether excel crashes again.
I appreciate your help 👍🏻
- Hi,
There has been an MSKB article about this, but has been unpublished since. So I guess the problem has been fixed in an update. First thing to do: update Office by running Windows update, including updates for other products.
Still no luck? It might help to disable autoscale for all of the charts ( Format > Selected Chart Area > Font)
Kind regards
HansHi, Hans
Thanks for the answer.
For MSKB article about "Error New font". I found and read but Link to Microsoft web is lost "not found page" ( found article in Office 2007 ).
Update : Windows and Office update to current complete.
I search in google found an article about this error, at takling autoscale in chart, but my excel file don't chart.
I try use excel in safe mode or use this excel file in other computer ( same windows10 and office H&B2019 ) but problum.
I uninstall Office, delete folder about Office, reboot and reinstall still found the same error
Kind regardsMethpong I have to say I am absolutely sick of this problem as well.
I have found that when I have 3 Excel documents open at any one time it happens.
Unfortunately because of my workload I always have at least 2 open & this is killing me!!
In the "old days" you used to be able to have multiple documents open without hassle, but now ..??
I am using an Apple MacBook Pro, which I recently updated it because I thought the problem might be because of insufficient RAM or storage. Guess what? It isn't !!
The only thing I can do is to Force Quit on Excel & start again.
All Office & Apple system updates are up to date.
Is it possible that Microsoft could actually listen to their users, because I'm just about ready to throw them out & try another option...
Because so many people have had this problem over the past few years, I would think Microsoft would/should do something about it !!
