Hi Walter,

I am using Excel 2003 on Windows Vista
I have data like "205", "444", "012", "007", "000" which I want to
display in a column.
By default, Excel displays them right-justified as 205, 444, 12, 7, 0.
I want them right-justified as 205, 444, 012, 007, 000.


use custom number format "000"(without the quotes)
Then your values are numbers that you can calculate with. Alignment is
right and you have no errors
