go to Text and I was able to add subtract and all that. not with XP. and my
stupidity was that I got rid of my old program. Can some one help?

How Can I just write a number in excell. I have XP
 

"XP" means MS Office XP?

Or just Excel XP?

Lead us up to where you are when you try to type a number.

Will Excel open?

Can you open a new workbook?

What do you see when you open the workbook?

Can you select a cell to type into?

What happens when you try to type? Nothing? Error message?

In other words, pretend we are not sitting at your computer and cannot see what
you see.
