I've been using Excel 2000 to a limited extent for about 2 months on a Win
XP machine. But the spreadsheets have recently begun behaving peculiarly..
Whether I'm writing to a completely new sheet or amending an existing one.

If I type 1 it displays in the cell as 0 and in the edit box as 0.01
If I type 10 it displays in the cell as 0 and in the edit box as 0.1
If I type 100 it displays in the cell as 1 and in the edit box as 1
If I type 1000 it displays in the cell as 10 and in the edit box as 10

However, if I put the cursor in the edit box in the 4th example above,
the 10 is immediately aligned left in its cell. Upon pressing enter, the
cell then re-aligns to the right as 0 and the edit box changes to 0.1

I've tried running Norton AV and Trend Housecall but no viruses were
discovered. I've also tried formatting both rows and columns and the
actual cell without success. No styles are in use.

Help!!!!!
