Easy bullets in Excel
If you have a numeric keypad, press Alt+7 on numeric keypad to type a bullet in Excel.
Under View (2007 or 2010) you need to make sure the show gridlines checkbox is ticked (in the show/hide area). There is a similar thing in older versions but I can't remember where it sits.

My guess woudl be that you overwrote formatting in existing sheets when you were trying to get the gridlines back - you could solve this by resetting the format by copying from a good WS.

But if it happens in new WS and new WBs that you open I dont know what you could have done - it is beyond my experience although there is also a gridlines checkbox in the display options area under the advanced tag under excel options and I would have a look at that too but I expect this is just another way of getting to the same setting as the ribon.
