Same for me. Truly annoying
I type my reports in Word and i get this error message at least once hourly. When it occurs, I have to wait 15-45 seconds before I get the "This is not a valid number" error. In every case, I am typing words and not numbers. i want this problem to go away. how do i make this happen?
