Form
I'm using Excel 2003. I have a column formatted as phone numbers. When I
enter a phone number in a cell, then press enter, it takes me to the next row and the number is formatted correctly: (317)123-4567. However, when I enter the information in a form, it is not formatted correctly, it looks like this: 3171234567. I tried highlighting the column and changing the format of the cells, but that doesn't change the way the info appears. The only way I can get it to show up correctly is by changing each individual cell. What am I doing wrong? |

Hi,
In the cell the the format is phone number, Format-Cells-Number-General-Phone Number. When you enter the information in the Form it is Format-Cells-Number-General. Therefore, select the wroksheet, Crtl+A and change the format. Challa Prabhu "glenda" wrote: I'm using Excel 2003. I have a column formatted as phone numbers.
