Default numbers instead of letters

Hi all

(Excel 2002)

A colleague of mine was working on a spreadsheet and while working on it the
columns which are normally letters have changed to numbers!! So now there is
rows and columns in numbers (no letters).

They do not remember pressing anything (or at least they ain't admitting
it!). Can anyone help me put it back to normal?

Any help greatly appreciated

Kind regards

Rexmann

<tools<options unselect R1C1 reference style

This happens often enough that it may be sensitive to power surges or
something, or a file set like this may have been opened , I can easily
believe they did nothing unusual when it happened.
