When inserting standard math into a text region, Maple insists on converting even simple decimals like 0.01 into scientific notation.  Can I suppress that?

I don't recall encountering this bug.  I think you'll have to be much more specific: which version of Maple are you using, under what operating system, Standard or Classic GUI, Document or Worksheet mode, and how are you "inserting" the standard math?
