Folks, Writing mixed numbers in both tables and spread sheet and having them change format.
This has been an ongoing problem for me with trying to enter mixed numbers into a table and/or into a spreadsheet. What occurs initially is that the mixed number can be entered but after several entries the mixed number appears as a date. For example. mixed numbers such as 3-5/64 can be entered for about 4 or 5 entries. Then the following entries will be entered as 6-14/64 and immediately upon hitting the enter key the number will change to 06/14/64. All following entering mixed numbers will change to the date format. How can the original mixed number format be retained? This phenomenon occurs in both the table format and in the spreadsheet so I would suspect the problem lies in the basic setup of the number system. However, I’m as dumb as a rock with computer “stuff” so I ask the cure be written as simply as possible that I may follow the instructions. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
