Default CELL FORMATTING WILL NOT WORK

I'm using Excel 2000 on a Vista desktop and on an XP laptop. I'm finding
that cell formatting will not work any more. For example, if I try to apply
date or custom date formatting to a cell containing '8/6/08', the cell is
not formatted as a date. The only possible thing that I can think of is
that I was trialling OpenOffice and initially I thought that the problem was
limited to Excel files that I had opened in OpenOffice. But I'm now finding
that the problem exists in new files created in Excel that have never been
opened in OpenOffice.

Can anyone help? I've never had this problem before.
