Formatting a Cell with a number without a decimal point

[alanl3]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel If I want to enter a number without a decimal point such as 523 I have to enter it as 523.00 and then set zero decimal places. No matter how I try to format it as 523 it either becomes 5.23, or is truncated to 5.
This only happens on some worksheets and might only occur in one column. What is wrong and how can I correct it?
Thanks in advance.

Excel> Preferences> Edit, clear the box for "Display this number of decimal
places".
