Problem when send "." in OpenOffice Writer

[nico18n]

Hello, I use the send command to send text to a table in a openoffice writer document. Whenever "." (fullstop) Appears in the text this is changed to "," comma. How can I prevent this from happening?
Thank you.

es.:

send("Mr. Smith") --->  Mr, Smith

Have you tried

Send ("Mr.Smith",1)

However, I would reccomned the ControlSend Function.

Thanks, but unfortunately it does not work.
There are no objects in the text file where I just fill in some tables for to use ControlSend()

I don't have OpenOffice Writer so I am unable to test but give this a try. 

Send ("Mr{.}Smith")

That's no good. The result is this Mr {,}

:-(

 

I'm afraid the error is OpenOffice at this point that translates the character "." to ","

I use OpenOffice 4.1.3

Okay Sky, thanks. I solved by removing the decimal separator selection (,)
Thank you for your much appreciated help.
