To the original poster...

Click on the Office button|Excel Options
Some place there's the same option that needs to be changed.

I just reformatted my computer and reloaded MS Office 2007. But strangely
enough whenever I open Excel, the Rows and columns start from the right
instead of left. So what I have is .....H G F E D C B A instead of A B C D E
F G H ......

Kindly suggest how do I change it to the normal alignment permanently...
