Stefan,

I suspected as much from the spelling of your name, but I didn't want to offend you by asking.

The most important thing was though, that you quickly and easily solved my little problems, and secondarily, that I learned something new again. It's strange, but I seem to learn something new every day of my life. And, possibly, that's what keeps me going.

Much obliged, Stefan.

Best regards,

 I'm glad I could help.

 Yes, keyboard layout is independent of the system language -- and
 both of them are independent of the langugage of menus and dialog
 boxes.

 There is also a relationship between Word's language settings and
 the system language (at least for Word 2000 and later). For more,
 see: http://homepage.hispeed.ch/cindymeister/LangFmt.htm.

 FWIW, my native language happens to be Swedish, too.

 >Stefan,

 Right again. But, this one wasn't really obvious to me.

 In Windows Regional and Language Options, under Languages, I had
 two languages installed 1) English - United States, and 2)
 Swedish, due to my keyboard layout being Swedish (as we have 3
 extra characters in our alphabet). Now I noticed that you can run
 with only the English - United States setup, together with
 Swedish keyboard support. Consequently, there is no need for the
 Swedish language support at all. I wasn't aware of this before.

 Problem solved. Many thanks for your assistance, much
 appreciated.

 Did you check the language settings of *Windows*?

 Stefan,

 Quite right, and very easy it was. Thank you!

 Actually, I've always overlooked the Insert Auto Text entries in
 the Header / Footer set up, which, all of a sudden, brings up
 another question, prompted by my newly won insight, if you would
 be so kind:

 I happen to live and work in Sweden (not really by choice, but
 anyway), but live and work in an English environment, why all my
 software, including operating system, Office, and everything
 else, are int'l English versions. No Swedish versions,
 whatsoever. However, I noticed that in the Header / Footer Insert
 Auto Text, my entries are in the Swedish. All my programs are
 updated with int'l English versions, and as far as I can tell,
 there shouldn't be anything Swedish on my system. So where does
 the system pick up the Swedish entries? And, more importantly, is
 there a way of easily resetting this Swedish behavior, to
 something more understandable, like back to English again?

 Now, when I noticed this, I also checked my Excel 2003, and
 noticed that my Custom lists (Tools -> Options -> Custom lists)
 all of a sudden are in Swedish too, possibly by the same reason
 as the Swedish entries in Word.

 I noticed, many moons ago (actually, many years ago) that if I,
 in Internet Explorer, set Language options (Tools -> Internet
 Options -> Languages) to Swedish, then when I update my Microsoft
 software from Microsoft's server it goes to the Swedish language
 site, but when I remove Swedish as a language and replace it with
 English (United States) (en-us), then my updates will be
 downloaded from Microsoft's English language servers. Any
 connection?

 Once again thanks for your help, and I'm look forward hearing
 from you.

 You can enable different odd and even pages (on the Layout tab of
 File>Page Setup) which allows you to keep separate contents in
 odd and even footers. Then you can easily insert "Page X of Y"
 via the AutoText entries accessible in the Header/Footer toolbar.
 And you can specify the alignment by using either tab stops
 (there are three predefined tab stops in the Footer paragraph
 style) or by using paragraph alignment.

 >Hello

 Windows XPP SP2
 Office 2003 SP1

 When printing in duplex, I would like to use page numbering in
 the footer, on the "outside" margin containing both the page
 number and the total number of pages, e.g. in the format 1 (12),
 or similar.

 In Word, it's easy to use the command, Insert -> Page Numbers ->
 Position: Bottom of page, Alignment: Outside. But, this command
 only enters the page number, not the number of pages, and as far
 as I can see, there is no option for this either.

 As Word inserts the page number in a frame, I've used this
 Insert -> Page Numbers command, then through View -> Headers and
 Footers, positioned my cursor in the frame and added the Insert
 Number of Pages into same, and, in my case, the two brackets,
 thereby getting an acceptable result.

 I can, of course, go straight into Headers and Footers, enter the
 Page Number and Number of Pages command, but how do I get these
 positioned at the outside margin? Is there a function for this,
 that I've missed?

 There must be some easier way of doing this than my primitive way
 of doing this, as described above?

 Grateful for any suggestions.
