Description jjc 2006-02-03 08:35:32 UTC 
Excel has a toolbar button that can be used to change the number format of a
cell to one that uses commas as thousand separators.  OOo appears to lack such
as toolbar button.  This was one of the first complaints of a heavy spreadsheet
user here who was trying to move over from Excel to Calc.

Instead of adding a new button, perhaps the format that is applied by the
existing numeric format buttons could be customized.  For instance, I'll never
use the "standard" numeric format, but would love to be able to use that button
to apply a customized format (eg. similar to comma format in Excel).  Is it
possible to add a feature so that the existing numeric format buttons can be
customized?

@mackayr: try to use the cell styles (F11) for quick formatting to your needs
