SUMMARY

When you use Windows Sound System Proof Reader with Lotus 1-2-3 for Windows, any changes you make to the International option in Control Panel have no effect when you proofread a spreadsheet.

MORE INFORMATION

You can use the International option in Control Panel to specify international settings for country, language, keyboard layout, and system of measurement. When you select a country, Windows adjusts the date, time, currency, and number formats to reflect those used by the selected country (these settings are saved in the WIN.INI file). Lotus 1-2-3 for Windows does not review these changes before starting, and therefore is not aware of them.

1-2-3 provides a way of handling internationalization (dates and times only) by using the Format command on the Range menu. Set the format for a cell to be the type found in this menu selection, then it should proofread accordingly.
