TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Our company style guide (here in Australia) is to use the comma if the number is more than 4 digits long, but no comma for 4 digits:
1000
10,000
1,000,000
For decimal points we use the full stop, e.g. $12,000.34 represents 12 thousand dollars and thirty four cents.
