In Spread sheet Ver 2.4.1 on Win XP SP=3
When doing Format | Cells | Category = Number and checking the "Thousands
Separator" box only the whole number part of the number is displayed with 
commas.
I’m an engineer and often have to deal with giga-this, kilo-that, and
nano-the-other-thing.  The thousands separator option helps a lot distinguishing
giga from kilo because it applies to the whole number part of a number.  The
problem is that the thousands separator option doesn’t seem to apply to the
fraction part of a number so trying to figure out if the number is 10
nano-whatsits or 100 nano-whatzits makes my eyes cross.
Please make the thousands separator option apply to the fractional as well as
the whole part of a number.
That is, please make 0.0123456 be shown as 0.012,345,6.   Yes, I’ll concede that
the trailing ",6" is kind of ugly but without the commas is that 6 a micro, 600
nano, or what?  It’s hard to tell.
