Entering numbers

why do I sometime have to enter an ' before entering a number, if I don't the format is automatically changed

RE: entering numbers

Good question! When typing in numbers Excel assumes you want to be able to add them up, so it defauls to formatting them to number style. By putting a ' in you are overriding that setting and able to type the number in as text.
Hope that helps

Excel tip:

Manually rotating a 3D chart

To manually rotate a 3D chart;
Select the chart (edit mode) and click on one corner of the chart display area. A selection border will appear, using the left mouse button on one of the chart's "corners" (mouse pointer changes to a cross) drag the image which becomes a line representation of the chart (as you begin to drag) and rotate the chart to a view of your choice.
If you dont get it right first time, dont worry, the manoeuver is a little bit tricky.
