Calc.exe digit grouping doesn't work

Tutorials Win: Microsoft Windows Forum

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?

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.
