Sorry
BOAC, my quip was made through a haze of French grape-juice. I didn't pick up on the Tools Folder. With great excitement I opened that to find . . . (roll of drums) the same menu showing it set to UK English.
When I took the offer of looking at all the language settings for each Office program, they just said, English.
Roger, the Open Office etc. (as in pilot-speak, of course.) I'm considering making an about turn, but a certain bloody-mindedness is driving me along.
It's almost as if each incarnation of Word has met with a new level of disapproval. So many are staying with 2003.
It's sad really, because I can work in my Word Perfect and send out an early .doc which everyone can read. What I can't do, is have that Word document edited, and then put it back in Word Perfect. That is THE reason I'm having to get into the modern world.
I accept that kind of problem goes away with the Open source software, but I'll press on for the moment and try to master things. I'll post if I do.
