How do I change the worksheet or workbook direction
I have an associate running Office 2007. The issue is that anytime they start
a new worksheet or workbook, the columns run Z-A instead of the standard A-Z. I have tried everything that I can to correct it but with no luck. The previous owner of the system was Arabic and had changed many settings to reflect his language. I have reinstalled the Office software and I tried everything I know. Now I need someone else's help as I am completely stumped! |

How do I change the worksheet or workbook direction
Check your langaugae settings in excel through Excel options - Popular -
Language settings. Set primary editing language as the one you want. Close excel and restart again. If this does not work then check regional and language options in control panel of your operating system (May be you will have to restart the machine and check again) "Nate" wrote: I have an associate running Office 2007.

How do I change the worksheet or workbook direction
Thank you for your response. I have already tried these avenues to no
prevail. The regional and language setting are set to English and the Office editing language is English with no others added. This is the reason I am so confused. I changed all of that and it did change the Office language back to English but did not change the worksheet direction.
