Default Column Names

On opening up a spreadsheet sent to me today, the column names have changed
from letters to numbers - how do I revert back? I've never seen this before
and it makes inserting formulas quite difficult.

Eg Cell A1, is now called R1C1 (row1column1)

Have tried opening up a blank spreadsheet and importing, but new
spreadsheets are now opening up in this format also.

Open excel and then go to options in tools menu. In General uncheck the R1C1
reference style. Thats all. O.K.
