Default Cell Formating- Why won't my data center

I have copied some data from one spread sheet to another. When I try to
center the data, the command does not execute. I have formated it as a

Thanks.


This might work for you. Select the problem cells. In the Format | Cells
| Number dialog, switch to Custom. It will look something like this:

_($* #,##0.00_);_($* (#,##0.00);_($* "-"??_);_(@_)
^^ ^^ ^^

Delete the asterisk-space pairs.
