Folks,
One of my users who regularly needs to track changes in documents, has noticed that the date in the Reviewing Pane is in US format ie MM/DD/YYYY. does anyone know if it is possible to change this so it is in UK format of DD/MM/YYYY. Thanks for all your help. -- Janet |

It would be the 10th of October
![]() I believe the date shown is the short date format shown in Windows regional settings. Many UK PCs are setup with default US American regional settings - change to UK and check the date formats especially. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Janet wrote: Folks, One of my users who regularly needs to track changes in documents, has noticed that the date in the Reviewing Pane is in US format ie MM/DD/YYYY. does anyone know if it is possible to change this so it is in UK format of DD/MM/YYYY.

Hi Graham
Thanks for the reply - I thought it must be picking the date up from somewhere on the PC. I'll wait until tomorrow so I can test it properly - trust me to pick 10th October :-) Regards -- Janet "Graham Mayor" wrote: It would be the 10th of October ![]() I believe the date shown is the short date format shown in Windows regional settings.

Change the PCs date through Windows to yesterday and you can test it today -
don't forget to change it back again afterwards. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Janet wrote: Hi Graham Thanks for the reply - I thought it must be picking the date up from somewhere on the PC.

Folks
Unfortunately Graham's suggestion of changing Regional settings in XP has failed to change those used in Word. I've also ensured the Tools/Language setting in Word is set to UK, neither have made a difference - the Review pane is still showing a date in US format of MM/DD/YYYY. Graham, or anyone, can you think of anything else I can try. We are running XP with SP2 and MS Office 2003. Thanks very much for any suggestions. -- Janet "Janet" wrote: Folks, One of my users who regularly needs to track changes in documents, has noticed that the date in the Reviewing Pane is in US format ie MM/DD/YYYY. does anyone know if it is possible to change this so it is in UK format of DD/MM/YYYY.
