[mso] Re: Excel & Word

Andrew...you are missing what Glenda said...she said she is typing that
formula in a TEXT formatted field...even with the equal sign, if you format
a cell as text, it will show the formula and not the result of the formula.
That's why I told her to change it to general or number or something...but
it can't be text.

You did, I suppose, put an equals sign first? I regret I all too frequently
leave it out ;)
