Hi everyone,
I recently installed OOo 2.0 on a Windows XP machine. My country is South 
Africa so I have the language set to English (South Africa) in the Windows 
regional settings options. For this country the decimal separator is a comma 
and not a decimal point. The comma is used for decimal numbers and currency. 
The thousands separator is a space and not a comma. This is how I have these 
set up in the Windows regional options dialog
I am unable to get Calc 2.0 to display and recognise the PC's regional settings 
even when I set them up in the user defined cell format dialog. I have a tick 
in the check box to use regional settings for decimal separator. I notice that 
despite the comma being selected in the Window regional options, the OOo 2.0 
Format  Cell dialog shows a decimal point against the check box option  ??? If 
I also check the tick box for thousands separator then a comma is displayed 
instead of a space.
There is also a problem with the date format display. I set it up as DD/MM/YY 
but the display comes up as MM/DD/YY
I have had to go back to Oo 1.1.4 until I can find a resolution for this 
problem.
I hope there is one and this isn't a prg error that has slipped through the 
beta testing !!
All help appreciated
Ted Parrett
