The decimal point: always write a comma, e.g. 99,50 EUR; 37,75 kg
Numbers in digits: group with a fixed space (non-breaking space), e.g. 33 925 inwoners; 1 000 000 EUR
Also keep a fixed space between number and unit (such as EUR, kg, etc.)
To insert a fixed space:
Program | Shortcut key |
---|---|
FrameMaker | Ctrl + spacebar |
Word | Ctrl + shift + spacebar |

Numbers in digits: group with a fixed space (non-breaking space), e.g. 33 925 inhabitants; 1 000 000 USD
