Default my cell entries are automatically being displayed as a decimal?

Hi,

For some reason all my numerical entries are being entered as a decimal.
Example: I enter 65 in a cell and it changes to .065

This happens regardless of whether the spreadsheet is new or existing.

Anybody know of a fix?

Regards
Max

Click TOOLS/OPTIONS and click the EDIT tab. Verify that the Fixed Decimals
checkbox has not been checked on. This automatically punctuates numeric
entries with the number of stated decimal positions (default of 2).

Sounds like the Fixed Decimal places option is selected. To deselect it, go to

Tools Options
Select the Edit tab and uncheck the Fixed Decimal box if it is checked.
