Autocorrection

[Guest]

Hello, I am a University student and am trying to construct a life table graph and need some help with Excel. I need to enter several age groups into a column eg 0-4, 5-9, 10-14. 15-19 and so on.

My problem is that when I type 5-9 into the cell, Excel autocorrects it to say 5th Sept. I can't seem to find a way to turn this 'autocorrect' feature off. I have already used the 'Help' Wizard and have turned off all autocorrect functions in Excel and yet this continues to occur

Any help is greatly appreciated

Andrew

Type an apostrophe at the start of the string, e.g. '5-9.
The apostrophe won't be visible after you press the Enter key.
