Default Why does Custom Format not control Cell Display?

XL 2003

Have a cell which shows in the formula bar:
06/10/2005 10:10:32 AM

In the worksheet (same cell but unselected) the display is:
38513.4239814815

No matter what I do with cell formating i.e. general to
text to custom (BTW which is mm/dd/yyyy h:mm) the cell
displays 38513.4239814815 UNLESS I select the cell - then
it displays 06/10/2005 10:10:32 AM?

When I de-select the cell it reverts back to 38513.4239814815

I thought that I knew better! What is the very obvious thing that I am
missing?
