Dear David, Thanks, it caused me to re-examine the new procedure. I went to
"Microsoft Office" Button thence "Advanced" thence "Places". The default
setting is TWO. I have reset it to zero. There is also a negative option!

1.50.
The previous version, I just enter[say] 150 and the cell displays 150.00.

With earlier versions of Excel it would be:
Tools/ Options/ Edit:
Fixed decimal places.

If that menu path doesn't exist in the 2007 beta I suggest you look up
"fixed decimal places" in the help.
