How to set XP Office default language other than to U.S. English?

[Bruce Littlehampton]

Have just read the greatest load of timewasting tasks undertaken by many
people trying to solve a problem not of anyone's doing other than MICROSOFT.

I have been unable to use anything consistently other than US English since
Word 2000.

Why can't the world's biggest company respond to simple user requests from
time to time.

We are all getting angrier and angrier, when a simple fix would eliminate
this odious problem.

Can someone at Microsoft PPPLLLEEAAASSSEEE listen to their seond most
valuable asset, their customers.

Why can't you? Please, no diatribes - my quota has been met today. Tell us
what the problem is, assuming you have set your language (keyboard, regional
settings, etc,) to your preferred language.

Then you're an idiot. I've had my language set to UK English since I started
using Office and I forget what version that was.

I do wish they'd anglicise it a little more, though....
