Hey! I caught a fish!! You were right, although I was looking in all the wrong places to fix the problem. It was a ginormous stroke (set to 12 pts instead of the appropriate 0!) I copied and pasted some entries from the correct months' grids and pasted them in the bad result grids. That worked fine, but a work around instead of actually correcting, and learning about, the problem. So I deleted the pasted number in one cell, typed it in again and got the same issue. Reverted back to the pasted text. Out of the corner of my eye I notice a change on the text setting in the pop-out box. Control-Z, saw the actual change. I had been looking in the table formatting box instead of the text formatting area. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
