No, it wasn't. In this respect, 2003 behaved the same as 2007.
If it is stored as a number, it will appear as 450 in the formula bar. If
your manager wants to see it as 450.00 in the formula bar then it has to be
entered as text (for example by being preceded by an apostrophe), as you were
told earlier.
