Default Cell Formatting

Why does formatting appear in my worksheet cells that I did not put in there?
I have inserted columns in areas where there was formatting and it appears
that this formatting is carried over from the previous column, but when I try
to clear the formatting it continues to appear in any new entry. Therefore;
I have to clear the formatting everytime I enter new data.

One thing to try is:

Tools Options... Edit and clear the Extend data range formats checkbox
