Type it in like this:

`2/14

The ` is the leftmost of the number keys : ~/`

Whatever is entered in a cell with the apostrophe is front of it will automatically be treated as text.

I have another problem.
I am not getting the small square at the bottom right hand corner of selected cell. As a result most of the guys in my family are not able to click on it and copy the contents or formula in the cells below. Plz help.

Look at the attached picture. That option should have be checked to enable drag fill. You can find it Excel Options (Orb>Excel Options) on the Advanced page.
