International Settings Not Updated Automatically (105449)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Excel for Windows 95
- Microsoft Excel for Windows 5.0
This article was previously published under Q105449 SUMMARY
Changes you make to the International settings in the Microsoft
Windows Control Panel will not be reflected in the Module General tab
of the Options dialog box (from the Tools menu, choose Options) until
you change the Language/Country setting to English/(Custom).
This is by design of Microsoft Excel.
To use modified international settings in Microsoft Excel, do the
following:
- In Microsoft Excel, choose Options from the Tools menu.
- In the Options dialog box, select the Module General tab.
- Under International, select English/(Custom) from the
Language/Country list.
- Choose OK.
MORE INFORMATION
In Microsoft Windows, you can change settings such as the standard
list separator character, currency character, currency number formats,
number formats, and date/time formats by using the International
dialog box in Microsoft Windows Control Panel. Changes that you make
are used in most applications that run in Microsoft Windows, including
Microsoft Excel.
However, Microsoft Excel assumes by default that you wish to use the
standard English/United States settings, even if you make changes to
the International settings in Control Panel.
