When I type 8-4 or 8/4 in a cell, these characters automatically change to
Aug-4 when I move to the next cell. Obviously there is a default at work in
Excel 2003 that is doing this. Is there a way to turn off this default or am
I forced to contiually text format the cells into which I type characters
such as these?
 
Type an apostrophe before the 8, or pre-format the cell as TEXT

You can set the locale option to English (United States) instead of
letting it be custom.
