Decimal place formatting

My accounts spreadsheet defaults to "£.99" if I enter "99" even though it
should read "£99.00".

How can this be fixed when the usual Format-Currency-£ and two decimal
places is chosen? Is it something to do with master settings or templates
or something?

TIA

Check Tools, Options, Edit Tab for Fixed decimals setting; if 0 then
change to 2.
 
Better to uncheck the Fixed Decimal Places optionbox.

If set at 2 then 99 will be entered as .99
