Default In spread sheet the numbers entered as whole numbers become decim

I have been working with a spread sheet where each cell is a whole number. I
tried to enter numbers today and while I enter a whole number it reverts to a
decimal. ie: 5 becomes .05. It has always been formatted as simly a general
number. I've tried to set up a new work sheet but same thing happens

Hi George,

Goto ToolsOptionsEdit Tab and uncheck 'fixed decimal places'

Thanks for the information. If possible, what caused the 'fixed decimal
places' to be suddenly checked.
