Default "30" in a cell becomes "50"

When I type in 30 or use 30 in an equation, Excel automatically reads it as
50 and displays it as 50. The keyboard has been changed a couple of times.
This also happens in Word. Office has been removed and re-installed to no
avail. Any idea as to why or how to fix it?

The same AutoCorrect list is used for all the Office applications.

I see. Well, our IT guy just re-installed all of Office this morning, so
there must be some glitch in the CD. In any event, thank you both for your
replies!

Probably not. This Autocorrect stuff is kept in a file named *.ACL. My bet is
that this file isn't touched by a reinstall.

It would be a problem with most people if it were deleted during the
reinstall--imagine if you had 1000's of words that were autocorrected!
