Hi, Manuel<br>
<br>
In the preamble of your document write: \spanishdecimal{.}<br>
<br>
By mutual agreement almost all the countries where the spanish
language is official, have adopted the use of the comma as the decimal
separator. All countries except Mexico, where a dot is the decimal
separator. I really do not understand this fact :-( ...<br>
<br>
Best regards...<br>

<div>I have been using Latex, through MikteX, since some years ago.
It works great.</div>

<div>However, reacently, I updated to the new version of MikteX (ver.
2.4), and I am getting problems when using the option Spanish with the
Babel package. One of the problems is that when I put any decimal
number, let's say 3.14159, I get in the final document 3,14159 (instead
a decimal point, I get a comma).</div>

<div>Can somebody tell me what can I do to solve this problem? Am I
doing something wrong?</div>
