Reading http://forum.soft32.com/mac/Language-issue-Office-2008-calendar-ftopict106980.html I see this and a few other ideas.
Hi,
I recently purchased and installed office 2008 for my macbook pro. I had office 2004 before that and all the templates opened up in english. These same templates now open in a different language in office 2008. I was wondering why that would happen and how to correct this error. Any help would be greatly appreciated?
