Sticky date formats in Office 2000 under Windows XP

T

Tim

Hi,

I have MS Office 2000 and have recently upgraded to Windows XP Pro from
Window Me. I kept two user profiles during the upgrade.

One annoying problem is that under one profile only, the US date format is
always applied in office, no matter what has been set in the regional
settings control panel and application. i.e. if you type "2/11<return>", in
Excel say, the applications understand that to be 11th Feb, not 2nd
November.

Strangely, in my profile, all works OK.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated (especially by my wife, who's profile is
affected!).

Many thanks,

Tim
