Thanks Gary. This solves the problem for workbooks that have already been
opened. However, I still need to run through the commands below for every new
workbook that I create. Preferably, there'd be some setting that I could
change so that every new workbook would drop the euro for the $ symbol.

Whenver I open a new workbook and use the currency style button, the cells
selected are formatted with a euro symbol instead of a dollar symbol.

I would like the cells to be formatted with the dollar symbol (this is the
default action I believe in new versions of excel). Is there any setting that
I can change so that the currency style button starts using dollar symbols
again?

I've checked my Regional and Language settings in the Control Panel in case
that was the problem. However, they are set to English (United States) and
United States.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
