Default How do I permanantely remove more than 2 decimals

I have Excel 2003.

How can I automatically reduce the number of decimals to only 2 digits not
just in the view part but rather permanetely.

example 2.48469047619048 should become 2.49

You can go to Tools | Options | Calculation (tab) then click on
Precision as Displayed and click OK - you will be warned that you will
permanently loose accuracy (click OK). Then go back to Tools | Options
| Calculation (tab) then unclick Precision as Displayed and click OK.

Hope this helps.

Pete
