Default Number formats

I am having trouble with Excel displaying the following numbers:
985.161000874592 - it will not accept and display the last digit (2) of this
number. It will display any other number typed there, just not the number
two. When you type in the number 2 Excel changes it to a 1.

The same occurs with 985.121002873173. In this case the last number (3) is
changed to a 2. Excel will accept any other number here other than 3.

I have read about the 16 digit limitation in Excel, but it is weird that it
will accept and display all last digits in these two numbers except the
numbers 2 and 3.

Any ideas.

By the way, when formatted as text, Excel will display as typed. It's just
that I would prefer these to be formatted as numbers with 12 decimal places.
