Default How do I stop decimal being placed in a 3 digit whole number

Check out Tools | Options | Edit (tab) and look for Fixed Decimal
(about half-way down the panel) - you should ensure that this is
unchecked, otherwise every time you enter a number it will be treated
as having 2 decimal places (the default, which should be greyed out).

Hope this helps.

On a new spread sheet, every time I try to type a 3 digit whole number or
less (i.e. 2 digits) the cell records the number with a decimal placed after
the first number. How do I get the cell formated to accept whole numbers.
If I chekc the , between numbers and the number I use in 4 digits or longer I
do not have the problem. I have tried removing the decimal to 0.
