I'm reading this lot backwards but, you are selecting the cells you want to
format first?
For example, when I was doing a sheet last week to list my DVD's I put the
highlighted cell as the very first and top one and then cursored down a few
hundred lines and across a few columns so I had loads and loads of cells
selected that would be altered when I formatted.

Hi Patricia,
For some reason I still can't get into the Format/Cells dialog - have made sure I definitely finished the edit first.
With the scientific notation - so is that what shows up visually in the cell? Is there a choice about how Excel displays this/how JAWS reads it?

Hi Catherine,

In this case, I'd say that you are still editing the cell - you need to press Enter to complete the edit before you go to the Format menu. Your cursor will have moved as a result, so you'll need to go back to the correct column or row before formatting. The representation you're hearing is the scientific or exponential notation.
Hope this helps,
