Choose Tools - Options. Go to Language Settings - Languages. Under
Default languages for documents, select the document language for all
newly created documents. If you mark For the current document only, your
choice will only apply to the current document.

Good evening
In my line of work (translator) I often forced to use MS Office files.
Right now I am working with an Excel worksheet.
I am not allowed to change file name, format or anything else am only
supposed to enter
the German translation of a Japanese text into the designated columns.
Fine so far.
The original file is so formatted that there are font settings for
English and Japanese.
When I work at home (right now) I select the relevant columns and
change the language setting to German.
But when I go to my little work place and open the same file there,
the language in those columns is back to English.
I changed it in my office to German again, but once I am home and
start working here, it is back to English again.
Is there a way to tell Excel files to use a specific language AND STAY
THAT WAY?
It would reduce unnecessary stress significantly.
Thank you.
Thomas
