the auto date feature is not functioning properly - how to reset

[E. Ruth Cummins]

I am using an EXCEL invoice which normally opens with the correct date. Now
I open it with the correct date showing but it prints with a string of number
symbols where the date should be. How do I reset the date or get the date to
function properly.

Sounds like the column width is too small. Try increasing the width of the
column a little and see if that helps.

I tried the column width without success. I have another invoice with the
auto date feature which seems to print ok. But this excel invoice continues
to not print the date (just a string of #####). Any other ideas?

Try making the font smaller or the columnwidth wider.

Sometimes, it looks nice on the screen but not so nice on paper. Just keep
adjusting and testing.
