------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Nov 8 13:49:20 +0000 2007 ------- Hello, Cloph said "So if you type "0.765765765" (the "." being the one on the numpad) OOo will recognize it as a decimal number when you did check the option [x] same as locale setting - no matter what locale you did set up)" I'm afraid this is not true completely. Indeed it would have seemed a solution for german, and french (like me) users to check the box to ensure no error text is typed in by mistake (which is georg's concern) because of the number pad being misinterpreted and then change the cell number format for appearance. But if you do change the cell format to a dot (wether selecting another language or by creating a personalised format), and type in a new decial number CALC does NOT recognize it as a number. Now if you choose to uncheck the [] same as locale setting box you are happy that all your decimal numnbers entered are consdiered as number even if entered with the dot. BUT theproblem is when you change to WRITE and use the 'numberpad dot' you now get a comma instead of a dot when you enter a text. I propose a distinction be made between CALC and WRITE for the number pad 'dot' behaviour. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
