Problems with HTML-import

[Jakob Juul]

When I import data from an HTML-file the values is not
numeric but text. It is shown with a little green sign
upper left i a cell.

Has anyone a suggestion why this is happening cause I
di´n´t have the problem in Office 97?

Are you concerned with the little green sign?

If yes, it's excel 2002's way of showing you that something appears wrong. If
you select the cell, you'll see a little "caution" icon near your cell.

Click on it and you'll see what excel is warning you about. xl will even give
you a chance to convert the text number to number number.

If you hate this symbol, you can turn it off (or portions of the checking) via:
Tools|Options|Error Checking Tab

Turn it all off or just disable the checks for the rules you like to break.
