Hi,
I've got a problem with excel for Mac - I've tried absolutely
everything I can think of and can't seem to fix it...
The basic problem is that dates appear in french (specifically, the
month name). This is despite the fact that I've set every preference I
can find to "English".
So 10/07/2006 turns into 10-juil-2006 instead of 10-july-2006.
If I look in the language preferences in excel, it's set to English.
The language preferences in MaxOSX are also set to English. When I
look at the cell format box, it's selected "Date" and the sample format
appears in English (1-Mar-06) in the little window where you can select
the format, but dates still appear in french when I type them into a
cell. Finally, if I look in excel preferences at the "custom lists",
there are four lists which I can't seem to edit, they contain months
and days, and two of them are in French and two of them are in English.
This only started happening recently, and I can't seem to find a way to
get it to stop - any help gratefully received!
