Default Mail Merge date appears in French

Wow!

The result depends at least partly on the language specified for the text,
so if you select some of the resulting text in the field and look at the
language at the bottom of the Word Window, does it say English (something)
or French (something). If It's the latter, I can only imagine that something
has happened that has changed the language of the text itself. Selecting it
and setting it to English in Tools|Language, then re-executing the field
maydo the trick. If you have a \*Mergeformat switch in your TIME field I'd
delete it before doing the update.

I have created a some mail merge fields in a letter with one being a date
field. I've used { TIME \@ "dd MMMM yyyy" } to source the date information
however whilst the day and the year are returned in number format as
requested, the month text is in French instead of English.

French is not a language specified anywhere on the system, I've checked
all
the language options that i know of....
in Word - Tools - Languages
in Microsoft Office Tools from the start menu
Control Panel - Regional Settings.

Any help would be greatfully appreciated.
