Solved - Number 10.00 is always changed to just 10

[asking]

I am typing numbers in a table. When I typed the figure 10.00 in a cell & then click on another cell to enter next figure, the figure 10.00 is automatically changed to just 10. I have tried turning off the auto correct but the problem stays.

The same thing happens if I click Save.

Since you are using a Table in Writer . . . you have the option to Format the Number.

1. Select the cells in your table you want to format
   
2. From the Menu: Table -> Number Format...
   
3. From the pop-up display . . . to the right of Decimal Places choose the number you want . . . probably 2 in the box
   
4. Press the OK button

I hope this helps, please be sure to let me / us know.

Thank you. I am sure your suggestion would have solved my problem.

What happened was, I accidentally stumbled on the solution although it was different from your suggestion.

I went to Tools > Option > OpenOffice.org Writer > Table

When the menu opened, I unchecked the box for Number Recognition.

Since then, the problem hasn't reoccurred.
