Default how do I automatically insert a decimal point?

After I recently updated my Office 2003, I found that I had to start entering
decimal points. Previously I could format my Excel cells that if I entered
100 it appeared as 1.00, now whatever amount I enter, unless I put in the
decimal point, that is how it appears. I've tried all the opptions on the
"format cell" menu but without any luck. I would like to enter just all the
digits as they appear and the decimal point takes care of itself. I would
appreciate some help.
Thank you.
