Can you get Excel to start with no automatic new document?
Hi! I can add a "/n" switch to the target in my Word 2000 shortcut to get Word to start without automatically creating a new document. But the same thing doesn't work in Excel. Is there a different switch for Excel, or some other way to get Excel to start without having it automatically create a new document? Thanks, Lori

Auto-format in Microsoft Excel.
Each time i try to enter a number range, for example, 8- 10, in Excel, it constantly re-formats it to a date. If I change the formatting to "General" it turns it into a random number, usually 38209.
