Thanks, John. I went into the date/time in*insert*, tabbed around and found the setting was already English UK. It seems that it was just the letter I was working on earlier that had the American format. It was copied from a web page so I guess it took the document format.

On the date/time page if you tab around the page you should get to language. it should say English (u.k.). You should be able to change it there.

How do I put it back to the English version? Thanks Barry -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
