My data entry keeps being mistaken for a date entry and cannot be entered
normally.

Also How could I insert a dash with out excel thinking that its a
formular?

My last question is when using the footer...How can I make sure the pages
are labeled from eg. 1- 14. with the footer as page 1 of 14 and so on
for
all the sheets in the workbook..?

Thankyou!
