I know using the ' when the cell is formatted as text will enable a leading
0(zero) to show up. I was just told that before my time (thanks, glad to
know someone considers me young still) that the ' before text will make it
left justified. Well, that's kind of what is happening. We have a simple
spreadsheet with a column of numbers, a column of text and another column of
number (currency actually.) The column of text all had a ' before the text
when viewed in the formula bar. But it didn't show up in viewing the cells.
This probably wouldn't cause a problem normally except that it wasn't showing
this way on another person's computer which still normally wouldn't be a
problem. But this spreadsheet needed to be imported into an accounting
program. The accounting program wouldn't take it because of the ' in the
cells containing text. It didn't like it for some reason. Who knows. We
have had many many many problems with said accounting program. Any way, I
had accounting program support on the phone and lo and behold before I could
get my question out it worked. It was imported just fine. You would thing
my problem is over, right? Not really. Does anyone know why the ' was
there? We have a button for left justification and we couldn't get rid of
the '. If any of that made any sense, please respond. My main problem is
taken care of but if it were to happen again, I would like to know why and
how to fix it.

Thanks for your time.
