Perhaps buy and read a book on Excel? I know it's hard to read about the
software you're trying to use because it does require some effort and does
make some sense, but over a period of time you'll be grateful.

I create a lot of spreadsheet that require number calculations. Since I
now
must use Excel 2007 it seems that no matter which number format I choose I
am
constantly getting additional zeros - even with the phone number format.
How
can I prevent this? Must I really place a period behind each entry? That
is
too time consuming and confusing.
