Default Change date format for Comments and display date in balloons

Yup, I checked and it's displaying dd/mm/yyyy.
What else can I check?

Did you check the short date format in regional options for that is the date

Thanks, Graham, for your response.
I just checked Regional Options in Control Panel and English (UK) was
already selected under the "Regional Options" tab. My default Input
Language ("Language" tab Details) is English (US) though. But I
believe input language only affects the keyboard layout, right?

I am using Windows XP Professional.

Your documents may be set to UK English but your Windows version
isn't. The date shown is the Windows short date format which is
configured in control panel regional settings.

As for the date in the balloons, I suspect not, though I stand to be
corrected by those who make more use of this function.

Is there a way to change the format of the comment date? Mine
currently shows MM/DD/YYYY. I want to show DD/MM/YYYY.

Secondly, can I display the date in the balloons? (next to
Commenter's name)
