Cells converting ###s to formulas
 
I am using a spreadsheet that someone in our London office created. Whenever
we input a number in a cell, it will automatically put it in as a formula
[with an =]. So if I try to put 12/12/06, the cell will read .1666667.

How can I turn this off?

Thanks.

Turn off those old Lotus 123 settings.
