SYMPTOMS
Turning Show Formulas on causes all numbers to be displayed in the General format. Percent, currency, and fixed-number formatting disappear. Times and dates are displayed as numbers. Alignment and column widths may also change. Styles like bold, underline, and italics continue to be displayed.



RESOLUTION
To recover all formatting, turn Show Formulas off by selecting Show Formulas on the Options menu.
