We are trying to use a table and input numbers in said table.
You mean a table in a text (Writer) document - right?
If we input a number with a comma and move to another cell, the comma gets deleted.
I'm guessing that you are using locale in which the comma is the fractional separator? In that case, "123," (what I would enter as "123.") is numerically equal to 123.
And, when we input a fraction (formatted 1/2) and move out of the cell, it changes it to a date.
These are as a result of OpenOffice "helpfully" interpreting your input!
How do we stop it from doing this?
Simple: go to Tools | Options... | OpenOffice Writer | Table | Input in tables, and remove the tick from "Number recognition".
I trust this helps. Brian Barker --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
