Hello, I am sure you heard abot problem with decimal point in calc.
Why can not use "," and "." as a decimal point like in excel and
other programs or make it available to configure independently of
national settings in windows? It is very annoying and frustrating to
still keep this way in version 4, for such a very long time, when
millions of people search for solution to make their job easer
instead of harder! Kind regards. Jamki.
By default the decimal point separator used in all OpenOffice
applications (Writer, Calc, Impress, ...) depends on the locale setting.
Please have a look at Menu Tools - Options - Languages Settings -
Languages. Here you found the locale set for OpenOffice. There is also
the 'Decimal separator key' option. Help content for this option is:
<help content>
Decimal separator key - Same as locale setting
Specifies to use the decimal separator key that is set in your system
when you press the respective key on the number pad.
If this checkbox is activated, the character shown after "Same as locale
setting" is inserted when you press the key on the number pad. If this
checkbox is not activated, the character that your keyboard driver
software provides is inserted.
</help content>
Thus, I can use "," when I have e.g. a English (US) locale set,
OR "." when I have e.g. a German locale set,
OR the system's decimal separator provided by my operating system, when
I uncheck the option "Same as locale setting".
Does this help?
Best regards, Oliver.
