Excel Calculations Open in Manual Occasionally

[rich32822]

MSOffice 2003, WinXP. When I open Excel, the Calculation Option defaults to
Manual instead of remaining on Automatic. Is this a bug in Excel? I never
set it to Manual. Thoughts can be posted or sent rich32822(Remove

If the first workbook you open is set to manual it will change the setting
for other workbooks as well
meaning that if someone is sending you a workbook with this set, you open it
by opening the attachment and
Excel opens. Then you close this particular workbook and you open a new
workbook, this workbook will now be set to manual
