[excel 2000]

on status bar, you amy select function to present, for example, sum of
selected cells
problem is that on my excel, there is written "total sum=2E+06", which is
very un-accurate
obviously, exponential form is chosen by the reason of large number of
digits in number

but, it is a sad thing that the most part of the field is occupied by the
fixed text "total sum=" [in my localized language version, this text is even
longer]

it would be much more clever to keep all diggits displayed, and in the case
of space shortage, to shorten the fixed text, wouldn't it?

so, question is:
is there some way to customize the display format on that status bar field?

thnx!
