Changing the Country in the Control Panel Causes Errors

SYMPTOMS

• The error message "Number not valid" may be displayed when you try to specify a range of pages in the Print dialog box.
• In dialog boxes containing numeric entries, commas appear in place of the decimals. In Works 2.0, if you try to change a comma to a decimal, the "Unit not valid" or "Number not valid" error message appears. In Works 3.0, the number may be incorrectly interpreted. For example, a 1.5 Line Spacing setting is changed to 6. This problem will occur in the following dialog boxes:
  
  
  • Page Setup & Margins (version 2.0) or Page Setup (version 3.0)
  • Indents and Spacing (version 2.0) or Paragraph (version 3.0)
  • Tabs
  • Font & Style
  • Column width
  • Row Height (version 3.0)
• In existing numeric entries in the Spreadsheet and Database modules, commas appear in place of the decimals. For example, 1.00 is displayed as 1,00.
• In new entries in the Spreadsheet and Database modules, Works interprets decimal numbers as text, even though a non-text format has been selected.
• In the Print dialog box, the Print Range may be ignored. Even if you select specific pages, the whole document may be printed.
