when I add numbers to a cell, excel adds tree zero's to the number. Is this a
bug in excel? How can I fix this problem?
 
Check the number format for the cell. Format it as General.

Kathryn,

If Chip's suggestion does not cure your problem and the zeros are after the
number then try

Tools > Options > Edit and uncheck fixed Decimal Places
