I am having a hard time getting the format I need in my output. For some reason Mathematica keeps putting things in engineering form when I just want a long number e.g. I want to display this number 101522688.1906242 like this $ 101,522,688.1906242 (I can do without the $ if it's too hard) How can I achieve this without writing ten different tags each time. I just want to have a formula with this output instead of having to wrap the formula with AccountingForm[], NumberForm[], DigitBlock, etc. It looks really ugly when I print it. thanks Felipe
