Default Excel is Backwards!

Hi Bob

Are you sure that you could flip a worksheet?
In an earlier posting you said
But guess what, I right-clicked the left-most sheet when it was
reversed, and it flipped! Go figure!


I think when you said the left most sheet, you actually clicked the
small icon which inserts a New sheet. This sheet is created in the
default Left to Right style.
I don't think Right to Left is supported in XL2007, or that you can flip
any sheets back again other than opening the Workbook in XL2003 or
lower, making the change and saving.

But then again, I may be wrong. I often am<g

Ron de Bruin reported that it was a setting in the Beta, but a buggy
setting which he reported. It seems they fixed the bug by removing the
setting. Although I could flip a 2003 worksheet that had been
reversed, I haven't been able to flip a new worksheet created in
2007 - yet!

Thanks so much, Bob. My user reported all is well again after I sent
your
message. However, she also reported she had the language set to
Yiddish. I
guess that will teach me to never make assumptions regarding what
settings
might have been used. It appears that when in the Yiddish mode, her
text was
all in english so it didn't seem to make a difference. She freely
admits
this was a PEBKAC error. Thanks so much for your efforts, though. I
thought
I was losing it because I couldn't find any other setting that would
make
that happen.

Thanks, Randy

Randy,

I couldn't find it anywhere in 2007 either.

But guess what, I right-clicked the left-most sheet when it was

Hi Bob, I don't think this will work in 2007 Excel, will it?
There is no
"Tools" option on the menu bar, and the Options under the office
button
doesn't have anything that looks like a International tab. It
must be set
someplace else in this version. I tried looking at
"international" and
"international settings" in help, and that didn't point to a
revelant
topic
either. I'm still stumped!

Thanks, Randy

I have a strange question. I have a user that is asking why her
columns
are
showing in reverse order. The number of the rows is displayed
on the
RIGHT,
and the far right column is A. This is Excel 2007, and it is a
puzzle
to
me.
I've apparently missed the configuration option that selects
"right to
left"
or "left to right". So far as I know, she is not using any
other
language
option or other setting that would make that correct. Is there
a way
to
change it? Or better said, is there a way to make it display
the way
it
works for everyone else?
