Hello, I work in department that we use Excel to log anything that is going
on or what we turn in for our university. We have Office 2007 on all our
computers. But when one person brings up the excel document. Anything that
was typed by the last person used it. Its coming up different, good example
the time we typed in log entry of 3:30. It would have some weird number like
0.094643782. Two of our columns we keep things centered and bold. But if
you bring up the excel document one or two or more rows will have it right
side and not bold. The column we type information in its left side and bold
and its texted wrapped. Well, on some rows, its left side but its not bold
and its not texted wrapped. Some times we fill in boxs with colors as
important information. So next operator will see it, well the colors are not
there 3/4 of time. The weird thing about this is if affects some of it.
But you go to fix it, and stays the what should be.

I tried updating making sure all computers that we use excel and all are
updated and still happens. Updated the computers and still same result. My
question is there an patch out there I can download from Microsoft that would
fix this. Or is there something wrong. Pretty much make it simple just in
case I lost someone what I am saying. If I would save my excel document and
close it. And next person thats opens it, will see it different but maybe
little different or alot different. The text is same but what we have setup
in boxes and columns changes by itself. Thank you for your time reading this
and hope someone has solution to this I can put on these computer to end this.

I really don't have a definitive answer for you. You might start by visiting
this page
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/default.aspx
and check for updates (upper right corner).

It sounds like the file is losing formatting in going from user to user.
For example, I'm betting that the strange appearance of a value like 0.09####
where you previously had a time entry is because the cell has gone from Time
format to simply General format.

You might be able, with a little knowledgable assistance, to record and
modify one or more macros combined with the Workbook_Open() event to set the
formatting in the various cells/rows/columns upon opening the workbook.
