Hi ?B?TWVsaXNzYQ==?=,

Are you saying that you use UK too and the date displayed for your Comments
are dd/mm/yyyy?
I'm just wondering if mm/dd/yyyy is the default used by Microsoft and that
can't be changed...

FWIW, I have my system set with UK at in BOTH halves of this dialog box
(language AND location). The comments on my machine (Office 2003, SP1 & WinXP
SP1) all display dd/mm/yyyy.

I don't see which version of Word you have in any of the messages in this
thread? (It would have to be 2002 or 2003...)

I note, as well, that it makes no difference with which language the text is
formatted. I believe this is controlled at the Windows level.
