Default Change of language?

When I re installed Office 2003 after reinstallation of Windows, following a
crush, I installed only Word and Excel, but somehow I could not have been
given the opportunity of choosing the language, because when I tried to
transfer files from a CD with English dates e.g. 12/10/2007 they are being
shown on the worksheet in USA style e.g.10/12/2007 and since this particular
worksheet is a engagements and do it diary it is most confusing. I also
noticed that in the toolbar the is the $ icon instead the £ one. Is there a
way I can alter this presentation to English style without having to
reinstall Office again?

Hi Zygy

Check your windows regional settings: start - control panel - regional and
laguage options - regional options

Hope that helps
