Excel 2003 won't let me change Xlabels from scientific notation

For some reason, when I type in bin bounderies for a histogram as:

0.0000 , 0.025,  0.050...... 0.175,  0.200

excel keeps changing them to exponential/scientific format,
which not only takes up a lot of space, but just looks dumb. How can I
force excel to show the labels the way I want?

It sounds like the cells are formatted with scientific notation.
Try selecting the cells, click Format> Cells, then go to the Number
tab and select a more friendly format.
