I have a column in which I want to type dates like
December 2004
June 2003
etc

IOW, no fancy formatting. But how in darnation do I do it please? It
seems I cannot use 'General' for a date, or my entries are turned into
a serial number like 37956. After using custom and entering 'mmmm
yyyy', I seemed to make progress. But now I cannot *edit* such an
entry. Excel insists on showing 'December 2003' in the edit box as
'01/12/2003'.
