Default Excel changes figures automatically

Tools|Options|edit tab
uncheck Fixed Decimal places

This is used when someone wants to do a lot of data entry, but doesn't want to
type the decimal point.

Although, I'm confused about 23% changing to 350%.

I am using MS Excel 2002, but of recent when i enter a figure (number)
it either cuts it or changes to decimal points automatically.

Example: When I enter 7000000 changes it to 7000, when I enter 4020
changes it to 4.20 and when I enter 23% changes to 350%.

What could be problem? andthe solution
