Change to Bob's format and OK your way out.

That sets the default for the Currency button.

Thanks BOB. your suggestion does work, but would take 5 keystrokes. I want
to be able to highlight a column, click on a toolbar icon, and for all the
numbers to be then formatted as currency. So I need to customise a toolbar
icon to do this. any ideas ?

I want to format columns in excel using the currency icon in the toolbar.
When I click on this I get the accountancy formatting, ie the pound sign £
appears at the extreme left of the cell and not directly in front of the
number (eg £ 123.45 not £123.45). So how do I make the currency icon
work
properly ?
