position of decimal point when entering a number ...
When I enter a number, the decimal point automatically poistions it-self
before the two last digits, even if I do *not* enter the decimal point. Thus, if I enter 123, I get 1.23, etc... When looking at the format of the cell, I see - general - sample: 1.23 How do I change this ? (This was not occuring when Excel was installed, and is not occuring with the same version of Excel on other machines; I suspect it ahs to do with a corrupted temmlate, but which one ...?) |
