Excel default number format problem
"Jason" <Nosaj4[ at ]gmail.com> 24.07.2006 15:08:04
I have a user with an incorrect default cell format in Excel. His
default number of decimal places for a cell with numbers is set to 4
instead of 2. I have no idea how he caused this and I have no idea how
to correct it. In case I'm being ambiguous, here is the procedure:
Open a new Excel workbook, choose any cell and go to Format. In the
Format Cell dialog box go to the Number tab and choose the Number
category. The Decimal Places box will be set to 2 by default but in
this user's Excel it is set to 4. How do I get it back to the default
of 2?

You might have crossposted to an Excel group, rather than multiposting here
This Q was posted some month or so ago, try a google group search

I didn't know how to crosspost. The original from a month ago was me
but I couldn't go back to add screenshots so I created the post again.

You crosspost the same way as you address an email to multiple addresses
i.e.
Enter each newsgroup addresse separated by a semicolon
