Odd language behaviour
I have one user with a mailmerge language issue. She regularly uses a word
mail merge document (accessing a FoxPro Database Table via ODBC) that contains a date merge field. Any other user can log onto her machine and run the merge and the date shows up with an English month but when that user logs on, and does it, the merge displays a date with a French month. We tried the obvious: We selected tools--Language--SetLanguage English but this just changed the language for the dictionary and thesaurus. We selected start--Programs--Microsoft Office Tools--Microsoft Office Language Settings, but this just allows us to enable a language. We replaced her Normal.Dot - no change We deleted the merge file and copied in one that we knew worked in English - same result. Strangely, this same user can log on to a different machine and merge a copy of the same document and the result is an English month. We believe that there must be a language setting in her user profile, stored on her machine that we do not know about. This is Office 2000 running on a Windows 2000 machine in a Windows 2000 network. If anybody has any ideas ... Thanks in advance -- Ken |

Windows Language Settings in Start--Settings--Control Panel--Regional
Options is set to "English Canada" - still the same problem -- Ken "Graham Mayor" wrote: Check the *Windows* language regional settings. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Ken Murphy wrote: I have one user with a mailmerge language issue.
