I am using Excel XP. I have imported a chart from a word processing program,
not Word, into Excel. Everything works find , except for some of the date
entries. I have two columns of dates, one for birth and one for death. In
each column I several entries that will not reform. They show to be either
'general' or 'custom'. I have made several attempts to reformat them to
'date' but they will change

Any Ideas?
