Try just selecting Number as that seems to be what you want.  Does your screen 
look like the attached?

Hello Johnny,  

My time sheet was originally in Excel and must have been automatically 
formatted to OpenOffice when I originally saved it on my Mac. So possibly the 
dollar sign could have defaulted from this transition? When the spreadsheet is 
open I go to format ~ cell protection ~ numbers, then I have a list starting 
with:  

All  
User ~ defined  
Number  
Percent  

I have no idea how to change this as I’ve tried several things to no avail. All 
I need the time sheet column to do is add up my hours and not display a dollar 
sign. If you know how to change this please share. If not no worries.  


Thank you!
