Default Percentage format

Hello, in Excel 2000 how do I prevent Excel from multiplying percentage
numbers by 100? In other words, if I type 5% in a cell, I do not want Excel
to multiply it by 100 so it shows as 500% - I want it to remain as 5%. Thanks.

Regards,

Randy

Format the cell as General or Number - NOT Percent.
