when I use Ctrl+D to copy a formula, it does not compute right.
 

Ctrl+D is copying the formula down but then it is not computing according to
the formula. It only copies the answer from the cell I am doing the Ctrl+D
from. For example, the formual in the cell is =L2-H2 (the correct answer in
this instance is 20.00). The very next cell reads =L3-H3 but it shows 20.00
rather than whatever answer it would be if it computed L3-H3.

You may have calculation set to manual, to fix

Tools Options Calculation Automatic

Probably you have your 'Calculation' set to manual.

<Tools <Options <Calculation tab,

And click on "Automatic".
