Language versions and settings

[Rupert Barnes]

Does MS Office come in a particular UK English version? I seem to have all
computer settings on "English (UK)", but digging into the "System Info" for
Outlook it says "Language" is "English (United States)", though the System
Language and Locale are "English (United Kingdom)".

If there is a UK version in the dusty recesses of a warehouse, would its
Outlook "Contacts" list allow British and Irish address forms or are we stuck
with US / Canadian ones?

How do you mean "allow British and Irish address forms"?
The address box in my Office 2007 Contacts allows me to type anything I
want in there....

Well, in a British address or an Irish address you do not have "city" and
"state / province" as labels; you use "town" and "county". The American
labels are really annoying, and inappropriate. I cannot imagine that the
French version has "city" and "state".

It is asking to much to have labels that change and adapt depending on where
a place is, but if there is a specific British version of Office appropriate
to the 65 million-odd people who live on these islands, I'd like to know
where to get it, or how to adapt what I have.

The Address box in my Outlook 2007 Contact screen is just a blank box - it
doesn't HAVE fields for State/Province or Zip. Are we looking at the same
thing?

Odd. In Office Outlook, and indeed in Outlook Express at home, each time I
want to add an address the address is divided into fields, with (in Outlook
Express) the labels:
"Street Address"
"City"
"State/Province"
"Zip Code" [in the Office version this is "Zip / Postal Code"]
"Country/Region"

A version suitable for Britain would have "Town" instead of "City", "County"
instead of "State" and "Post Code" instead of "Zip / Postal Code". I can see
no way to change it. Is it is a question of the version of Office? (I can't
see an indication on the disc.)

I get that in Outlook Express but not in Outlook 2007 - was your Outlook
2007 installed on top of a previous version?
