Excel has a feature to allow lazy people to enter numbers without the
decimal and have Excel insert it. To switch this off: Tools | Options; open Edit tab; deselect the Fixed Decimal box. beat wishes -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "CENTROL BUSINESS" wrote in message ...

I set up a new spreadsheet Friday and wanted 5 decimal points and changed the setting at Tools, Options and forgot about it. Today I had the same problem Centrol has. It wasn't until I came here and found this that I remembered what I had done to cause me to have the same problems. Thanks for this group!
