Data entry problem

M

Matt_Training

I am trying to enter "1 / 12" into a cell, but every time I do this the
computer coverts the cell to a date and changes the values to 01-Dec. I
looked through the automatic edit mode and can not find a way to change it.
I need to find a way to change it so that I can put any number before or
after the slash, with spaces between. I am using Microsoft Office Excel
2007.
