I have been using OOo for a few weeks now and was looking forward to completely uninstalling MSO on my home computers and at work. There is only one problem. Calc doesn't support engineering notation. Engineering notation is simular to scientific notation except that the numbers to the right of the 'e' is evenly divisble by 3. examples are:
1.23e6 12 1.99e12 222e-9 Such notation easily aligns up with terms such as kilo Mega micro and milli. It is very important for engineering. There has been a formal request to add this feature. see url http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?p=134025#134025 This is an old issue going back to June 2002, and has 8 votes and assigned a priority 4. This is an important issue for engineering and scientist types who deal with terms such as kilowatts and millimoles, microdynes and kilometers. What can be done to get this issue more priority and eventually fixed. Its been 4 years and a large community of spreadsheet users are being left out. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Raymond Lloyd :Opinions and Commentary are free [EMAIL PROTECTED] :That is what I charge and that is :what they are worth. http://pages.sbcglobal.net/spiritof76 ----------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
