Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc - Invalid name error - help request
Hi again: I suggest to do this in the Language-Language settings: *User Interface: Select English US *Locale Settings: English (Canada) *Decimal Separator Key: uncheck *Default Currency: Default CAD (English or French) *Default Language for Documents: A English Canada or French *Ignore system input language: check I did this in my LO, and restart LO, and then LO accept " . " as decimal separator key I hope this help, Jorge Rodríguez El 28/07/2017 a las 18:14, jorge Rodríguez escribió: Hi: In LO Preference (Menu-Tools-Options-Language settings), you can find some ways to customize your settings.

Would you know if there are any override settings in the LO Preferences? I can't find it if it exists. There exists the setting in Tools > Options > Language Settings > Languages, where you can determine the decimal separator key. In addition there is a setting "Ignore system input language", but I don't know, what effect it has. Another setting is in the cell properties in Format > Cells. On the tab "Numbers" you find top right a "Language" drop-down list. You can determine the language for numbers independent from UI. Do not use the "Default - xyz" but select the correct language explicitly. That the places I know, which might influence it.
