Also, once I've thought more, why couldn't we get rid of the (to me) silly locale number code idea? Isn't "en_us" *better* (more self documenting) than "409"? Wouldn't "[$#-en_us]* #,##0.00;[RED][$#-en_us]* (#,##0.00);[$#-en_us]* -##;@", to roll-up my "complete" idea as a concrete example, be more understandable? After all, computers and programs exist to assist with the repetitive and mundane so why shouldn't Calc figure out what the locale number for "en_us" (e.g.) is and just "do the right thing"? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
