My name is Peter Spence an attorney (lawyer) in a small town in South Africa my 
e-mail is [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am now using Open Office 1.1.4 and recently received a cd to update my 
version and this changed the way my spreadsheets are formatted. The numbers 
used to be 13,500.50 and are now reflected as 13.500,00.
The difference is that the decimal point now is a comma and not a full stop (or 
period). The latter is easier for me to use as on the number pads the . is more 
easily to access than the , which is not on the number pads but with the 
letters.

I presume the format can be changed but do not know how to do so.

Thanks for the good software.

Regards 
Peter Spence
