Forgive me if this is a dumb question. Do we have to reboot after clicking "apply?"

Epinn,

Interesting it is.

Unlike you, I threw caution to the wind and selected it. It didn't seem to
do anything, when I selected the comma style or currency style from the
formatting toolbar, I still got 123,456,789 format. I wonder if you also
need some language pack or something.

I think I will do some more investigations.

Bob,

Today I discovered something. I was at the Control Panel, looking at
regional and language options. I clicked on "customize" and clicked on the
down arrow beside digit grouping. The last option from the list is
interesting. It is related to this thread. I wonder which regions use this
format. If I choose (of course I won't) the last option, all MS Office
software and not just Excel will be affected, right?

If the poster's region uses this format all the time, do you see a problem
if he/she changes the digit grouping to the last option? This is provided
the option is there for him/her to choose from.

Just curious. I am always happy and want to tell when I have discovered
something. But, of course I don't expect the same level of joy from others
who have known all along ...... ;)
