Excel 2003 Got Corrupted and would like to send a copy to MS.URGEN
 

While running some Macros for financial mathematics, which involved some
random number generation, the following shocking development happened across
all spreadsheets present on the machine.

Typing 3 results in .000003

Typing 4 results in .000004.

What a shock? Can I send a copy to some address, please

with regards

Before you send it to MS, try:

Tools|Options|Edit tab|uncheck fixed decimal places.

It sounds like someone was working with very small numbers and turned this
setting on so they wouldn't have to type the decimal places and 0's.

Useful for him/her. Not so nice to leave it that way for you.
