Try this:

From the Excel Main Menu:
<tools<options<general tab
UNcheck: R1C1 reference style

Does that help?

Somehow, on every new spreadsheet I try to create in Excel, numbers have
now
replaced Letters for column labels on the top. I want to change them back
to
letters but do not know how. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
