Decimal point is comma - Spanish setings

HI,

As you known, in Spain and other countries we use the comma character as decimal point.

Well, when we try to use numeric pad in calc sheet(excel for MSOffice) the dot key must paint a comma and now that key writes a dot.

Please note this is a big problem for us.

We must move the hand between two pads(numeric&alpha) each time taht we need to use numbers with decimals.

Please can any body help us.

Thanks,

Are you referrring to OpenOffice.org / StarOffice or something else ? StarOffice releases prior to 8 had an issue with this but that's supposed to be fixed in 8. What version are you using ? What platform are you using ?

You can find more information about this issue here: http://specs.openoffice.org/g11n/numpad_status/Setting_of_Numpad_Decimal_Separa tor.sxw
