Annoying single quote with ever new workbook
Whenever I start a new workbook, if I enter text into a cell and press enter,
in the formula bar the text is preceded with a single quote. I have obviously switched something on somewhere for this to happen. I know I can do a Find/Replace, but I dont want to do this for every workbook I produce. Does anybody know how to switch it off? |

Annoying single quote with ever new workbook
Hi oldtimer
In every cell in each new workbook ??? If you look in your XLstart folder is there aworkbook named Book.xlt ?? Try to move it out of the XLstart folder Where it is: C:\Documents and Settings\<User\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART With code you find the path with this line MsgBox Application.StartupPath -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm "oldtimer" wrote in message ...

Annoying single quote with ever new workbook
Does the single quote change to double quote if you right-align or change to an
caret (^) if you center-align? My guess is you have Transition Navigation Keys enable under ToolsOptionsTransition. Uncheck that option and the two below it.

Annoying single quote with ever new workbook
This setting is a global setting....not workbook-specific so at some point it
had to be checked by someone. Some settings like Calculation Mode(auto or manual) are set by the first workbook opened in a session of Excel. The calc mode setting catches a lot of people. First workbook is set to manual which subsequent workbooks inherit. Not so with the Transition Keys setting. All or none.
