If you click "Tools" options Edit. Check "Fixed Decimal" and set "Places"
to zero. This will allow you to get numbers as you typed them. Type "25,"
you get "25." Type "25.00," you get "25.00," etc. This applies to Excell
2003 but will undoubtedly work with earlier versions.

Maybe this is how it's supposed to work, but my client says it's not. She has
fixed decimal set under tools, options with 2 decimal places. However she
said in the past she could type 25. and it would show up as 25.00 and if she
typed 25 it would show up as .25 but now either way she types it the result
is .25 and she wants it to be the way it used to be. So my question is what
is the best way to do this and how is it supposed to work?

Thanks,
