I copied some data into an Excel (2004) spreadsheet from the web, and now I
can't operate on the cells, despite the fact that their format is 'Number.'
I've tried re-copying the cells and paste-special-ing 'Value,' but to no
avail. Does anyone know how to make Excel recognize these perfectly good
numbers?
