I have office 2002, my windows is home xp. Last week we had to reformat my xp, got a hold of a nasty worm! I just use a chart to display numbers in series. Now when I try it from an old sheet it inserts the number as a date? I keep trying to change the cell to GENERAL, but it dosen't work. Can't understand it.
 
When you say you keep trying to re-format the cell as General, what
result do you get?
If I do it on a date cell (re-format) I get the date code (i.e. the
value of the date).
Ex. cells has "03-01-11", select cell and re-format to General = 37632.
