Track change Author/Date popup shows US date format not correct regional set
Word 2002 on NT 4 SP6 - corporate customised environment.
The track change popup which shows Author, Date and Track Change type information is showing the date in US format. The PC is configured to show non-US British standard format..dd/mm/yy. I cannot find a setting to alter this for the popup. The document is set to Eng(Australian) and normal.dot + OfficeXP has language set as Eng(Australian) & Eng(US). That's normal. How can I get the date to display correctly as dd/mm/yy in these popups? Thanks. --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ |

Track change Author/Date popup shows US date format not correct regional set
Hi Wayne
I can't begin to tell you how miffed I was when I first discovered that the track changes balloons showed dates the "wrong way round". But, it's fixable. Follow the instructions at the following page: http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister/LangFmt.htm While I don't think that page specifically refers to the track changes balloons, if you set all the languages to English (Australian), you'll get Australian formatted dates in balloons. Make sure you get rid of all references to US English everywhere you can. Cheers Shauna Kelly. Microsoft MVP. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word "Wayne Zaunders " wrote in message ...
