Default Format adds 2 spots in front of number

I got this question third hand from my mother and wondering if anyone knows:

My father has a spreadsheet that has formulas puts in 2 decimals
automatically but rounds them to nearest whole.

If he types a 4 the edit bar shows it as 4.00 but view only shows the 4.
If he types 324 the edit bar shows 324.00 but view shows 324

He went on vacation and everything was good, came back yesterday and now
when he types a 4 the edit bar shows .04 and view shows a 0

If he types 324 the edit bar shows 3.24 but view shows 3.

As most support people have heard, no one has touched the machine.. to his
knowledge... and he has Microsoft automatically update patches.

Has there been any Excel patches in the last release? If someone set it up
accidently how do we revert it back to show 4 as 4.00?

My mother has tried to set th ecells back to general and then back to Number
showing 2 decimals with no effect. ALSO they have emailed the spreadsheet to
the house from work and it shows correctly and works correctly there.. which
is why I thought environmental issue on work computer (ie. Patch or worse
virus)

Any thoughts/ideas would be helpful.
