Mathcad problems

Whenever I open one of Martin J king's worksheet, on the Qts expression, the program sees the Qed as a 0, and tells me "Found a singularity while evaluating this expression, you may be dividing by a zero"

and this happens even if I havnt done anything yet, just opened the worksheet.. and happens on all of them.
At first I thought the problem was my pc at home, but then tryed at school, and same thing...

Anyone seen anything similar?
I'm using mathcad 8 explorer

I've seen lots of 'funny' things happen with these, but not this one. Have you tried inputting a value or deleting the worksheet and downloading it again?

Yhea I tryed to bypass the formula by directly applying my Qts, and I tried redownloading the whole worksheet, still the same problem

No, you can't overide Qts, I meant hightlight and re-input/change Qes/Qms.

Well.. I worked on it, and it seems the worksheet only uses Whole numbers, doesent take account of the decimals.

it sees 0.386 as 0 and 4.256 as 4

Anyone ever seen this?

It seems the program uses "," to indicate a number. but the worksheet uses dots.

So i guess there must be a way to change standarts
