Hi Isebella

You seem to be like me who seems to enjoy shortcut keys!! It speeds up and makes us more effective @ work. Thank you for joining our course for Excel Intermediate and I hope that you enjoyed the course.

Select all the cells that you want to apply the currency format to. Please note that you can use CTRL select the non-Contagious cells.

use the following shortcut key:

CTRL+SHIFT+$

This will automatically format all the cells with £ symbol and two decimal places. If you have any negative numbers they will be formatted to red colour.

I Hope this helps and I hope to see you in one of my training courses :?)

Excel tip:

Make macros work in newer versions of Excel

If you have created macros in Excel 97 or 2000 that you want to be able to use in 2002/XP or 2003, you may need to alter the macro security settings in the newer version of Excel you are using.

To do this, go to Tools - Options - Security.

Select Macro Security and change the security setting to Low.

Tick the boxes next to 'Trust Add-ins' and 'Trust Visual Basic' and click OK.

After you have restarted Windows, you should then be able to use your macros created in earlier versions of Excel.
