Hi Clarence,
I have checked your file and i come to weird result:
in some cases the apostrpohe is actually needed
ie. a got a telephone number sth like. 028378 393939
without the ' they were of course numbers :(

I have no clue so far where xl makes the difference
between these cases.

Bye
 Bye
  Niko
