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?
Your problem is the formatting of the rows. Click in the seventh
row. Then hold the Shift key while using the Down Arrow to highlight
rows seven through nine. Right click in any one of these bottom rows.
Select Number format, and select the number properties you want to use.
Click OK. That should do it.
