I'm glad you took my advice. Seriously though, free software like
LibreOffice will probably be the choice of an increasing amount of
people going forward.

nitpick
People can be counted, so people come in "numbers", not "amounts". :-)

Of course, if you were to put people into an industrial-sized blender,
for example to make the primary ingredient for Soylent Green, once fully
blended they would certainly come in "amounts", as called for by the SG
recipe.

Apologies for the interruption, but that's one of my pet peeves. Please,
carry on.



Yummm, soylent green :-)

Not gonna lie, it doesn't taste as bad as it sounds. ;-)

My Excel 2003 (11.5612.5606) seemingly has gone South.
I only use it to track household expenses, but I have enjoyed it.
Now, however, I cannot enter dollar figures in the cells.
Every time I enter a number, and tab to the next cell, it immediately
exits, failing to save anything I entered.

Interestingly, I can execute the same .xls file to Excel on my other
W10 PC, and it works just fine.

I need help.

And that has exactly WHAT to do with Win 10?

BTW... we don't support warez here.

Contact Microsoft and confess your crimes.

It looks as if the 2018-06 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 version 1803
for x64-based Systems (KB4284848) has solved the Excel problem. My
Excel 2002 now works as it always did in earlier versions of Windows 10.
