Hello,

Using Excel 2007.

Copied a list of "numbers" from a site.
They all "look like" numbers, e.g., 23.456.

Excel is apparently interpreting this as text, when I Paste what I
copied into it.

It appears on the left hand side of the cell.
I guess that this means that it thinks it is Text.
True ?

I tried re-formatting these copied cells as Numbers in Excel, but they
still appear on the left hand side of the cells.

What do I have to do to have Excel handle these as numbers, and not as
text ?

Thanks,
Bob
