Formulas reversed
 
Using Office 2007 and windows XP. The back slash has become "multiply" and
the star has become "divide". In other words, these two symbols are
reversed. Have no idea how this happened. How can it be reversed back to
normal? thanks.

There is no way in Excel to change this setting. Without code, that is.

It would be a keyboard issue.

How about other applications.........same issue?

Check your keyboard............can you hook up another to test?
