This has nothing to do with Programming in any case. You've received
at least one reply in the microsoft.public.excel.misc group.

I am using Excel 2002 and Windows XP Pro. Recently excel stopped
allowing me to enter formulas containing the "/" operator. So when I
enter +3/4 or =3/4 I get an error. If I enter 3 in A1 and 4 in B1,
then try to enter the =A1/B1 or +A1/B1 I get an error.
