    Help needed - Formula's stopped working.

    I have a workbook with a number of sheets. The formula's in the sheets have stopped working. Also the paste links have stopped working.

    I have simple formula's like =A1 + A7 and then totals of columns.

    The formula's are still in the sheets (ctrl ` shows me they are there). I have to click on the cell that the formula should have changed, then click in the tool bar at the top where the formula is show, then hit return to make the change. I have to do this all over the work book, even where I have a paste link.

    I do not have other work books open, and have been struggling to find why this is doing this for a number of days. I would appreciate any suggestions, or point me in the direction of any telephone help within the UK that I can get.

    Many thanks for any help in advance

    Sorry sounding thick. Where do I check if it set to manual. - OK I found it. Yes it is set to Manual. Should it be automatic

    Maybe I should say I am self taught, and running excel 2003

    Ok I changed to automatic. That would have appeared to correct my problem. How simple was that. Duh!. But why did it change to manual? any ideas?

    Thank you for your reply.
