Appleworks Format "English" not American

My 6.2.9 contains English dictionary spellings, not American. And measurements in documents are in metric, not inches. How to change? Cannot find a "North American English" reference in Essentials or elsewhere as I saw I should choose in an answer by Peggy for someone who wound up with Danish and needed American English.
Thanks ...

New iMacs don't come with Appleworks, had to buy it separately. Did so, disk is 6.2.9. Installation does offer US & Canadian English vs. International English. I tried re-installing with US&C English just to make sure I hadn't mistakenly chosen International first time but this didn't change anything. Then I tried going to Apple Downloads but only 6.2.9 "upgrade" is available. Tried downloading this and installing but my system says it "can't find anything to upgrade" - presumably because I already have 6.2.9.
So problem remains unresolved. Any other thoughts?

  • Australian English NOT American in Word dictionary

    I'm Australian. I don't believe organisation has a 'z' in it. But apparently, without me knowing it, we've turned american with our spelling.
    I use MacOffice 2004, and the English AUS dictionary has just changed it's spellings. I have to use the UK one so it will accept how I want to spell things. It used to be fine, but not anymore.
    Has anyone else noticed this? Any ideas what's going on? Is it some kind of political statement?
    It also won't let me add words to the dictionary.

    Not sure about MacOffice specifically, but to change the default dictionary open something like TextEdit, type a word. Right click (or CTRL-cick) on the word you've just typed,choose spelling (or spelling and grammar in leopard)and select the dictionary you wish to use from the drop-down menu.

  • XML Publisher report output in RTF format does not display full page

    Hi,
    We have one XML Publisher report, the output of report in RTF format is not getting displayed in Full Page in normal way (MS Word -->View menu --> Print layout) but we can see full page display when we do MS Word -->View menu --> Outline.
    Appreciate your valuable inputs on this.
    Is this a template issue or any profiles needs to be set.
    Thanks

  • Date format is not working properly for Calender value help

    Hi Experts,
    We have two problems.
    1. We want to change the format of date displayed. We want format of dd-MMM-yy. For that we have created one Simple
    Type Dictionary Object with Displaying format dd-MMM-yy. It is working
    fine for the non editable UI. But once I apply the dictionary type
    object as data type for an input field, probem happens. Once the user
    choose a date from calender value help the value in the input field is
    coming like 01-011-12 not like 01-Jan-12.
    The date format is not changing from the calender. But if we set the
    display format of the dictionary object to MM-dd-yy or MM/dd/yy or
    dd/MM/yy or dd-MM-yy the format conversion from calender to input field
    is happening properly.
    The only problem once we put MMM in place of MM for the input field
    where user is selecting from a calender value help.
    2. We want to restrict users from entering the value manually for date input field. The user
    should be able only to enter value by selecting from calender value
    help.
    Please give suitable solution for these problems
    Thanks

  • I can no longer print any document in PDF format. Not sure why

    I can no longer print any document in PDF format. Not sure why? When I try to print, the document saves to my hard drive as a PDF and will not allow me to print? Never had this issue before. Any thoughts?

    Print to file is in the main print dialog (on Acrobat 9.x) as opposed to under Advanced

  • IPod Classic 160GB film library sync problem -  trying to sync films that have converted from purchased DVD to mp4 format locally, not purchases from the online store - all other libraries sync perfect - why?

    Hello Apple and the iTunes Windows PC users community.
    I am trying to sync films that I have converted from purchased DVD to mp4 format locally, not purchases from the online store. The mp4s all appear and play successfully in my iTunes application but will not sync across to the iPod film library folder.
    For your information: I am using iTunes 11.1.3.8 on a Windows 7 64bit machine with 500GB hard disk and 8GB of Ram in the UK.
    I have restored the iPod classic 160GB three times now to see if it was a hardware problem with no joy. Each time all the music restores properly as do the podcasts and all the items in TV programmes all appear to sync and work fine.
    I have also tried to copy films into the TV Programmes to get around it with no joy. They always go to the films section to start with. It is just the Films library that does not sync - all others work perfectly. As a last resort I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes with no joy either.
    I am technically savvy and have gone through the itunes and ipod settings but nothing appears to make a difference - This is the first time I have had to post here as I can usually solve the majority of the ipod anomilies but this one has me flummoxed.
    Has the film encoding type changed in the newest itunes update? - Has this happened to anybody else and is it a hardware, software, or operating system problem.

    Having uninstalled the current version 11.1.3.8 and loaded and older version of iTunes 10.7.0.21 I can now categorically confirm that the newest update seems to be causing the problem as the films and TV Programmes are syncing perfectly on this older version.
    If you are going to do this please dont forget to remove the  ' iTunes Library.itl' file as this stops the older versions from running as I've just found out

  • I recently purchased a book from itunes on my ipad 2 but when i open the book in ibooks i get (incorrectly formatted or not formatted for ibooks) somebody please help

    I am currently deployed over seas.. I recently purchased a book that im pretty stoked about. but when i open it in ibooks i get ( incorrectly formatted or not formatted for ibooks to recognize) the file is an .epub so i dont see how it could be a format issue.. I tried emailing apple but because of the situation they want me to call. I have very limited telecomminications at my location .. somebody please help

    The Report a Problem link can also be found in iTunes/Store/View Account/Purchase History.
    Before asking for a refund, also try deleting the book and redownloading it.
    If you find that the iBookstore is does not meet your needs, you can try one of the others like Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Googlebooks, or Sony.

  • Video that used to sync now "format is not supported"

    Hi there,
    After some odd behavior from my 160GB iPod Classic, I have restored it and am in the process of reloading it. I have one TV episode I ripped that is no longer syncing over to my iPod though. The video worked yesterday on the iPod and today it won't sync. I am receiving the "video format is not supported by the iPod" error. Any ideas on why this would happen all of a sudden? What the problem might be? How to easily resolve the problem w/o a re-rip? Thanks! The details of the video follow:
    h.264 file - 640x480
    AAC Stereo Audio (48 kHz)
    29.97fps
    bit rate: 1652.83 kbits/sec
    Thanks again!

    I feel ya...I just bought a tv episode and it won't sync to my 160gb IPod and mine hasn't been restored just authorized for my other new laptop....anyone have any answers for us??

  • I have an old ipod. It worked great until about 2 months ago and now it says I need to restore my ipod but I can't unless I format it, but everytime I try, it says the format could not be completed. Is there anything else I can do to get it to work again?

    No app is required.                                               
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • Scanning conflict   Acrobat 9 pro   "Color Format Selected Not Supported"

    I have had several conflicts with Adobe Acrobat 9 and my HP C5180 printer/scanner/copier.   I have downloaded new drivers from HP.   When I try to create  a PDF from the scanner,  I get this conflict warning:   "Color Format Selected Not supported".    So, I change the color format selections in both HP and Acrobat and I still get the warning.    I must admit I haven't tried the black and white color format.  But I want to scan simple color images.  No luck.  
    Has anyone else had such a problem?

    This may have nothing to do with your problem, but -- at least with Acrobat 8, there is a 100MB limit to the scanned image. Are you trying to scan something larger than that?

  • Datetime format is not showing in Webi as exactly in Database

    Hi
    we have data in our reporting database (sybase iq 15.4)  as the datetime type  and the data is storing as below
    2014-09-09 22:31:42.124,  my objective is to create object based on this column and use it in Reports, which should be I18N standard, and drill up to minute,hour,day,week,month,year. ( i have different columns in the database for these hierarchy).
    Now when i create an object in universe using the column - first of all i don't have datetime type to define  ( i am using BO XI 3.1 SP5), so  set it to date type.
    now when i drag this object in webIntelligence report,  by default it is showing as 9/9/2014  : There is no time information here.
    but  when format the cell to display hours/minutes/seconds, it is showing properly
    Now the Question is :if the change the viewing locale, the format is not changing accordingly,
    could you please let us know how best we can solve this issue?
    and also if i drill up to day or hour,  it is giving #format error.
    Please let me know your thoughts to solve this issue
    Regards,
    krishna Rao

    Thanks for your reply, once we apply the formula it became variable, we can't use in the drill up/drill down hierarchy.
    if we want to do it in universe level this format should be fixed.
