Regional settings are OK.

What I need is, when in Word, when I press the dot (.) key on the numeric
keypad to get the comma (,) character instead. This behavior is normal on
Excel and works as expected for numbers entries.

I believe that those people whose language have dot (.) as a decimal mark
don't notice this, but Word sticks to the dot key character and doesn't
substitute if for the comma character (as happens on Excel). When entering
numbers on Word, substituting dots for commas is very needed.

Thanks for your reply.

defaults for things like date format and number format.

Is it possible on Word (2003, 2007) make the dot key on the numeric keypad
works as it works on Excel, that is, behaving as a number decimal separator?

For instance, in my case (Portugal), I would need the dot (.) acting as a ,
(comma) as it is the decimal (real part) separator.

Thank you.
