Odd language behaviour

I have one user with a mailmerge language issue.  She regularly uses a word
mail merge document (accessing a FoxPro Database Table via ODBC) that
contains a date merge field.  Any other user can log onto her machine and run
the merge and the date shows up with an English month but when that user logs
on, and does it, the merge displays a date with a French month.  We tried the
obvious:

We selected tools-->Language-->SetLanguage English  but this just changed
the language for the dictionary and thesaurus.

We selected start-->Programs-->Microsoft Office Tools-->Microsoft Office
Language Settings, but this just allows us to enable a language.

We replaced her Normal.Dot - no change

We deleted the merge file and copied in one that we knew worked in English -
same result.

Strangely, this same user can log on to a different machine and merge a copy
of the same document and the result is an English month.  

We believe that there must be a language setting in her user profile, stored
on her machine that we do not know about.

This is Office 2000 running on a Windows 2000 machine in a Windows 2000
network.

If anybody has any ideas ...

Thanks in advance

Check the *Windows* language regional settings.

Windows Language Settings in Start-->Settings-->Control Panel-->Regional
Options is set to "English Canada" - still the same problem
