If 0 or omitted the locale group separator is used else the separator is suppressed. ??

Created attachment 89276 [details] A screenshot showing the text. Problem description: The parameter description for 'No thousands separator' in the FIXED function is overly complicated and confusing. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open an instance of Calc, launch the Function Wizard and double-click on the FIXED function. 2. Click in the 'No thousands separator' input box to bring upt the explanation in the wizard. Current behavior:The current text is displayed, quite correctly. Expected behavior: To simplify this text and explicitly explain the point of the parameter, alter the text to something like; 'Thousands separator. If 0 or omitted the locale group separator is used else the separator is suppressed.' I appreciate this is not a defect as such but the current text is very poor. I don't know of any other way to bring this up than as a bug. Operating System: Windows XP Version: 4.1.3.2 release
