Restoring columns

Excel 2003 workbook, column have number numeraton. Cells in Name Box have
strange numeration, i.e. first row and first column in Name Box marked as
"R1C1"; 1st row and 2nd column have "R1C2" and so on. I need add formulas in
some cell, but this numeration prevent formulas work correctly.
I.e. if I want multiply, R1C2 x R1C3, I got broken formulas like
=RC[-2]*RC[-1]

Something wrong here.

In xl2003 menus:
Tools|Options|General tab
uncheck R1C1 Reference style

In xl2007:
Office button|Excel Options|Formulas|Working with formulas
uncheck R1C1 Reference style

This option is picked up from the first workbook you open in that session. So
if someone is saving a workbook in R1C1 reference style, and you're unlucky
enough to open that workbook first, you'll have to change it again.
