| I am using version 2.1 of OpenOffice.org on a quadG5 Macintosh desktop computer. My problem is my font number formats are incorrect. That is to say everything about a font works okay - all characters and symbols. But when I try to enter numbers they appear in a format I do not recognize. If I press the 2 key or 3 key etc. what appears in the document is this strange character (see attachment). When I open a document which was created on another Macintosh computer as a OpenOffice document and which appeared correctly on that computer all the numbers in the document are changed into this strange format Here is an example of these characters taken from the OpenOffice help file in the Number Format Codes help page which has also been effected. |

Description: Adobe PDF document
The above five lines should read: 3456.78 as 3456.8 9.9 as 9.900 13 as 13.0 and 1234.567 as 1234.57 5.75 as 5 3/4 and 6.3 as 6 3/10 .5 as 0.5 I can't seem to find the source of the corruption which is causing this anomaly. HELP. Thank you, John Hughes |
