XL98: Unexpected Number Formats Appear Under Custom Category

• Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition

SUMMARY

When you use the Increase Decimal button on the Formatting toolbar, new number formats are created that appear on the Number tab of the Format Cells dialog box. (To access this dialog box, click Cells on the Format menu.)

MORE INFORMATION

These new number formats correspond to the number of decimal places added: one custom number format is added for each decimal place you add to the number when you use the Increase Decimal toolbar button. The new number formats are visible when you click Custom in the Category list on the Number tab of the Format Cells dialog box.

These number formats remain, even when you use the Decrease Decimal toolbar button on the Formatting toolbar.
