Strange Error

Chartman of the Bored · May 15th, 2002, 11:15 AM

I just tried clicking on the % (percent) button on my toolbar and got a message from Excel saying something like "Percent format not found." I was able to format the cell using the Format/Cell method, but am still wondering what's up with my toolbar.

You deleted the Percent style. Go to Format | Styles... to re-create it.

Ok, thanks.

I don't know how I could have deleted it since I wasn't playing around with any toolbar stuff or formatting stuff. In any case I'll try re-creating it.

Thanks.
