Calendar week start problems

[Romayne]

Using Publisher 2003 with Win XP. I've been trying to
get my Publisher calendars to start once again with a
Monday instead of a Sunday (WHO in this world apart from
the Jewish community start the week on a Sunday!?).
Anyway - I've already changed the REgional settings
everywhere I can find to UK settings, changed my KB
changed my languages etc - all to no avail. Is there a
registry key I can perhaps delete to force it to accept
the new info. Presume a reinstallation might push it to
do what I want, as I did it before, but something changed
(and it could have been a Win reinstall) and it's not
ever done it since. Any ideas PLEASE. If you have,
would you mind emailing them to me, as well as answering
them here?



Thanks
Romayne

Oh you'll get email all right, lots and lots and lots of email, just not the
kind you want. Providing your real, unadulterated email address on a public
Usenet group is the height of stupidity - and asking - and expecting -
people to email you is the height of laziness and rudeness. Why on earth
should I provide my personal email address to a complete stranger?! I
receive enough spam, thanks...

It is said that Publisher takes its calendar settings from the Regional and
Language settings, however this *CANNOT* be the case because I, too, live in
the UK and the calendar you get from right clicking the clock and choosing
'adjust date/time' is in the from Monday-Sunday and, just to confirm I
wasn't going mad, I confirmed this with www.timeanddate.com which told me
that weeks in the UK do, indeed, begin on Monday. I long for the days of
Publisher 97 when you could choose the start day.

Publisher appears to think the US is the world and, therefore, everyone must
want to use US date and time settings...

I figured it out. Have you installed SP1? That fixed it for me.

In the Regional control panel, you do indeed have to change the LANGUAGE to
a country such as the UK. It works for me on my end.

Sarah,
Usenet group is the height of stupidity

I resemble that remark. I've always used my real, unaltered e-mail
addy and actually get next to no spam from them. Where most of my crap
comes from is politicians and Public Relations agencies that think I
might really want to read their drivel. And it's not just e-mail, faxes
also. Upwards of 30 a day, most of them multiple pages. My "Delete" key
always seems to wear out first.
