Cell formatting

[srug51]

Hi
I wonder if some one can help me.

I have imported into Windows XP Profesional old spreadsheets fro
Windows 98. The problem I am having is I am unable to format cell
without decimals.
Excel is changing numbers that I had without decimals in to decimals
For example if I had 17 and I change that number to 18 it will show i
as 0.18. I have tried formatting the cells from the format tool bu
without any luck as even here it is showing me the general numbers wit
2 decimal points!

Could it be something that was done when Windows XP was first loaded?

Any help will be appreciate

Check under tools, options, edit, and see if fixed decimal is checked
