Bill,
In this respect, Mathcad 14 is an improvement on Mathcad 11.2, which displays all of the formats as zero!

Eden,
The whole point of scientific (and engineering notation) is the wide range over which numbers can be displayed with a specified number of significant digits. Mathcad's inability to correctly display very small numbers defeats the whole purpose of scientific and engineering notation.

I'm unclear what the original problem is supposed to be. What did you think should be displayed? You have "Show trailing zeros" checked for all results and the number of zeros displayed correspond to the choice selected. If you reset the results settings, the results show up as "0", since the sheet default zero tolerance is 15.
The "anomalous" 1 in the 15th decimal place is a consequence of selecting a number that is not exactly represented by binary fractions.
TTFN,
Eden

I am having trouble with getting Mathcad 14 to display results correctly.
In some cases, the exponential threshold does not work except when 17
decimal places are selected to be displayed, but even then additional
numbers appear in the result at the 14th or 15th decimal places.
I did a "mathcad /register" from the command line in the Mathcad 14
folder to re associate DLL files, but it did not help.
Also did a repair of Mathcad 14 in Add or Remove Programs in Control
Panel. That did not help either.
See attached Mathcad 14 file.
I hope the list still works. I have been getting 4 or 5 day delays on
my submittals before they are posted on the Adeptscience web site..
