Calc.exe digit grouping doesn't work

[Guest Kirt]

Does anyone have any ideas why digit grouping isn't working in the

Windows Calculator (Calc.exe and CalcPlus.exe)? Even though digit

grouping is checked in the calculators on my work computer and my home

computer, the calculator won't display commas. I'm running XPSP2.

 

Thanks,

Kirt

WTF is "digit grouping"!??

 

And why should you/we care if it works in a FREE program?

Because it makes numbers hard to read without commas separating them

into groups of three.

 

And if you don't care, then why did you bother to post an idiodic

reply?

I tailor my reply to the OP.

Try looking in Control Panel-Regional and Language Options and see if

a space is being used for the Digit Grouping Symbol.

See Edwards' reply for the answer

No reason for PD43 to care, but the poster would like an answer if

possible. Strictly speaking, Calc isn't free -- it's supplied by MS with

the OS.
