how do I make Excel default to General number format?

I have installed Excel 97 but the General cell format insists on formatting
as the number format with two decimal places.

Is the number you enter already a two decimal number? General removes any
type of formating, and represents the contens as WhatYouSeeIsWhatYouGet

You may have accidentally changed the "Normal" Style. Go to Format |
Style... and make sure "General" is applied to the "Normal" style.
HTH.
