I am using Word 2010 and some built-in features with fields, such as bibliography.
My Word installation is English and I am writing a report in US English. However, my computer has its locale set to Denmark. This affects the formatting of dates and some of the text in the auto-generated fields (e.g. in bibliography it says "citeret:" instead of "cited:").
How can I change the language of the fields to US English?
Thanks,
Martin

Right-click the field and select "Change field..." (or whatever the item is called in your language of Word).
In my case, the field is
BIBLIOGRAPHY \l 1053
. 1053 is the Microsoft Locale ID (LCID) for Sweden. I just changed it toBIBLIOGRAPHY \l 2057
, where 2057 is the LCID for English - United Kingdom.Then the bibliography changed language, so there is no more "Fifth upplagan" instead of "Fifth edition"!
