I have a simple table in Openoffice.org Writer with 9 rows. One column

For some wacky reason the last three rows will not allow me to insert a
comma in the thousandths place, as in the first six rows.
I can type it in, but as soon as I move my cursor to a different cell,
the comma disappears.
Also, in row 7 it will not allow me to add the .00 at the end. The
number should read146,065.00
I can not figure out what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone help?
Hi Don,
How did you format the cells? Under Format > Cells > Numbers tab you
define how the cells are displayed. If your going to be doing
calculations then they have to be numbers, if not you can define them as
text. If numbers are used then you can define the details that will be
displayed. The number of Decimal places, the separator, where negative
numbers will be in red and so forth. It sounds like the last rows are
defined incorrectly and the first rows are defined properly.
