When I copy the formula (eg) V1 + V2 + V3 to the W column, the formula shows
as W1 + W2 + W3; but the result is incorrect; rather it shows the same result
as V1 + V2 + V3. This has only happened today. I don't know what caused it -
if I reboot, the problem disappears initially and then happens all over again.

Hi,

Thos sound to me like calculation has been switched to manual. In Excel 2003
you would use

Tools|Options - Calculation tab and select automatic.

I don't know hw you change to automatic in 2007 but if you type 'Manual
calculation' into help you should get an answer.

Thanks Don,

I've got all this to learn (again) when; if, I upgrade to 2007.

Just upgraded a couple weeks ago.

Not as bad as I had been led to believe.

Commands and functions are basically same as 2003, just takes a short while
to learn the Ribbon and where all the ToolsOptions stuff is by using the
"Office Button"
