When I am in my user profile, my excel isn't working properly. If I log into any other profile, it works fine. The symptoms are below. Any idea how I should fix this? Should I reboot excel or do something to fix my profile? Does this mean other areas of my profile aren't working properly? Thank!<br />
<br />
Symptoms: <br />
<br />
When I enter a number into a cell, and then hit enter, it automatically changes the cell to blue font. It only does this for numbers<br />
<br />
If I don't change change the cell format back to normal, &nbsp;it takes a long time to save. If I do format the cells back to normal it saves normally.
