why have column letters changed to numbers in excel

[JCereda]

For some reason the column headings have changed from letters to numbers.
Row headings still appear with numbers. This is happening in all my excel
workbooks so it must be some sort of global change that I have inadvertantly
made. Does anyone know why and what I need to do to change it back. (Excel
in Office 2000.)

Many thanks
