Summary:

Microsoft Excel and the Microsoft Works Spreadsheet module use an implementation of SYLK that does not support the transfer of comma-formatted numbers.

The numbers import correctly without the commas. Once the file is opened in Works, add commas by choosing Set Cell Attributes from the Format menu.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
