To take care of all numbers presented: On Windows, Menu Edit -> Appearance Tab -> Numbers -> Formatting 1. Check the Enable automatic number formatting box 2. Digit Block Separator: Thin Comma or Comma 3. Decimal Point: Period 4. Digit block size: Left: 3 Right: 5 5. Min before breaking into blocks: Left: 3 Right: inf Number of digits to be displayed in output: 20 The number of digits to be displayed is tricky. It would be really nice if they were to allow number for left and right of decimal place. Paul McHale | Electrical Engineer, Energetics Systems | Excelitas Technologies Corp.

I have descriptive statistics that I would like to display as 13,957,636.8843 (despite the meaninglessness of the digits to the right of the decimal) instead of 1.39576 x 10^6? Much obliged, Gregory
