I copied this:
General":1"

and pasted into the custom format box and it worked fine.

But I didn't notice the info in the subject of your post. I don't think my
suggestion will work.

Thanks for your response Dave, but when I try what you suggest quotes are
generated like this "General Number:1" instead of what I entered which was
General Number":1". What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
