[Solved] Automatic changes to text in tables

Post by TonyOR »

I'm trying to stop automatic changes to text. E.g I have a doc with 8 columns. When I type a number with a plus sign thus: +1,234.00, as soon as I start typing in another column the + sign automatically disappears. Anyone have any ideas as to what's going on? I've looked at Number Format, Auto Format etc, but without luck.

Right click on the table and remove the selection from Number Recognition.
