Hi Peter, Zhu Lihua,

yes , it's a feature. If you change the locale setting, you always change also the default currency format. The cell format dialog shows normally the default currency only. But if you change the currency format listbox to show maybe British pounds, the formats for US$ are kept for your convenience. This is the same mechanism as if you switch the locales.

BTW Happy New Year

Hi, all,

I found if we swith the locale setting back and forth, some number format options will be more than the original options.

I'm not sure it's a defect or a feature.

Interesting question.


1. Create a calc document;
2. Check Tool->Options->Language settings->Language, check Locale setting, close dialog; 3. Open Format Cells dialog, click Numbers tab, click Currency in Category listbox, check options in Format listbox; 4. Go to Tools->Options->Language settings->Language, change Locale setting(e.g.: Korean(ROK)), Click OK button; 5. Go to Tools->Options->Language settings->Language again, change Locale setting back to original setting, Click OK button; 6.Open Format Cells dialog, click Numbers tab, click Currency in Category listbox, check options in Format listbox. You will find several Korean Currency options.

I can confirm this behavior. But it might be intended. As the user can more easily apply the format once selected before. I think it's a useful feature. However, I am afraid we have to wait until January until an expert will give us a qualified statement.

All the best for 2008
Peter
