Problem with decimal tabulation

Solved

I bought an HP, there was a demo of Office 365.
I already had Office Small Business 2016 installed on another PC. I reinstalled it on the new one.
I want to create an invoice in Word, and I'm typing with the "L" tab the CHF and then with the decimal tab, the price. With 900.00, the alignment is correct on the point. But with 1'000.00, the alignment is done on the apostrophe, which is not correct.
Do you have a solution?

Hello itagomina,

I’m responding here to your two messages #2 and #3.

I hope you can find on your Windows 10 what I do with
my Windows 7:

Control Panel, “Region and Language” => window of the same name.
On the 1st tab “Formats”, click on the button at the very bottom:
“Additional settings…” => window “Customize Format”.
On the 1st tab “Numbers”, you should see (among other things):

Decimal symbol: ,
Number of decimals: 2
Digit grouping: (space)

These are the correct settings for French numbers;
for Anglo-Saxon numbers, you need:

Decimal symbol: .
Number of decimals: 2
Digit grouping: ,

But don’t change anything if you mostly use numbers
in French format!

If you have changed as indicated, and confirmed by clicking OK for the
2 windows, it should work as you want in Word (I hope!);
otherwise, don’t forget to set it back to how it was before!

Aside from that, sorry: I have no other ideas.

Best regards. 😊

Thank you, great this works.
But it is:

Decimal symbol: .
Number of decimals: 2
Grouping of digits: '

For 1'000.00 (as I wish)

albkan, you are more efficient than 5 Microsoft Helpdesk employees (spent 2 to 3 hours with them.)
Gracias !!!!

Hello itagomina,

For Anglo-Saxon numbers, the thousand separator is the comma,
not the apostrophe! You should write: 1,000.00

Best regards.  😊

I understand,
However, it works with Windows 7 and 8, and suddenly not with Windows 10?

And even with written 1,000.00, the alignment is done on the comma and not on the point.
