= SUMMARY =

In Microsoft Word version 4.00, when calculating numbers that contain fewer than three digits, commas will not be automatically inserted into an answer that is four digits or longer. There is no way in Microsoft Word to get the commas to appear other than to add a comma to the answer yourself. If a comma has been added to one of the numbers that is being calculated, however, the solution that follows will have a comma, as long as the answer is at least four digits long.

For more information on the Calculate command, see page 188 of the “Reference to Microsoft Word” version 4.0 manual and page 200 of the “Microsoft Word: Reference to Microsoft Word” version 3.0 manual.
