Date format for Word Versions

We are located in Australia. When we go into Word (2003) and go to
file>versions ... the format is in the USA format.

Now I have gone into every setting I can find, including regional settings
in the control panel, and have set them to Australia. Yet the Word Versions
is still coming up in the USA format.

Please help!

(As a side note - Our computer at home has it in the correct format - so we
know it can be done! Tried to compare settings - all appeared to be the same)
 
It may be that you are trying to make this setting from within an Office
application. This is not clear from your posting. I would suggest that you
change the date setting from within Windows. Follow this procedure:
1. At the Windows desktop, do Start > Control Panel and double-click the
Regional and Language Settings icon;
2. Click the Regional Options tab;
3. Click the Customize... button, and choose English (Australia);
4. Click OK.
Your applications (all of them) that support the date functions within
the Windows Applications Program Interface (API) will *all* now respond with
the date in English Australian format. See if this works for you.
