I created a htm file in Excel 97-2003 and I was able to access my tables and
change the information around. When I open the file in the new Excel 2007, it
changes a lot of my numbers to dates and some other crazy numbers I have no
idea where they come from.

I've tried going to excel options and turning off automatic calculations but
that doesn't help.

How do I get excel to not change any of the information in the cells of my
workbook? [In the previous excel all you had to do was insert an apostrophe '
to prevent any changes.]

Example:

Supposed to say: 01-05
Says: 39087

Supposed to say: 01-13
Says: 13-Jan


How do I keep excel from creating the _files folder when I create a htm file?
(I only want a simple htm file.)

Thanks!
