Workbook cells won't hold formatting in Office 2007
I have Office 2007 running in Vista Home Premium. My system got FUBARed and had to be reloaded. Now my Excel workbooks won't keep the proper formatting in cells. I have them formatted as general so that I can type in something like 4 - 1. As soon as I do that it converts the formatting to Custom and puts it in as a 1-Apr. If I try to reformat the cell as general I then get 39904. If I enter it as space 4 - 1 then it enters correctly. How can I make the cell give me the correct information without putting a space in front of it?

One way in to format the cell as Text BEFORE entering 4-1. Another way is to precede the 4-1 with an apostrophe.

Rather than formatting them as 'General', try formatting them as 'Text'. That should prevent Excel from converting 4-1 to 1 Apr. Or, if you prefer, leave them formatted as General, but instead of putting a space in front of the entry, put a single quote mark ( ' ) in front of it, as: '4-1 which will force Excel to treat the entry as text regardless of the cell's format setting.
