Mathcad comma for decimal

Is there any way to set up Mathcad 15 or Mathcad Express to use comma (,) as a decimal separator, rather than dot (.) ?

So 2.6 would be 2,6 and the like.. I live in Denmark where we use comma, rather than dot.

I would love to be able to do this..

Regards, Nick.

Have a word with your fellow Dane, Steen Groðe.

He's got a personal web page on this subject here Untitled Document. He recommends using an alternative font for displaying numbers, although this is not without its problems as you'll still have to type the decimal point (full-stop).

    You can input on my Web-sheets (Mathcad Calculation server) comma or point.

    Try please http://twt.mpei.ru/mcs/Worksheets/rbtpp/tab1.xmcd

    You input number as a string than a little utility convert it into number: 5,5 ->5.5   5.5 ->5.5
