Weird Excel error

OK, I've searched for a solution to this but I'm either
using the wrong search terms or I'm a retard. Probably
both.

Every time I put a number into an excel cell it divides it
by 100

eg: Put in 43 and the cell displays 0.43

This is on all spreadsheets, new and old. I can't fathom it
out either. I'm still searching the microsoft site. If
anyone can suggest what the problem could be, beyond my
retardedness I'd be most grateful.

Thanks,

giginger

sounds like your default template is fucked. can you run a
repair from the office CD (put it in, run repair)?

Sounds like a plan to me. I'll give it a whirl. Thank you.

well the easiest would be to set the cells setting to
default :)

try Format, Cells then Number, and set the cell to 'text'

Tolstoyed and Bob: I've already tried that. First things I
did.

goto 'Tools - Options - Edit' and uncheck 'Fixed decimals'

Yes, it sounds like your numbers are set to automatically
decimalise.
