Default Prolblem entering simple Formulae

I've just been upgraded to excel 2003 and if I enter a simple formula into
excel such as =2+2, instead of giving me the answer 4 the cell just displays
=2+2. How do I resolve this?

Hi

Your cell may have been formatted as Text. Format your cell as General and
re-enter the formula. Also worth checking Tools/Options/View and make sure
that Formulas is not checked.

Hope this helps.
