Love Italians, but not on the Office Update page

[Stan Waisbrod]

Whenever I enter http://office.microsoft.com in IE I am taken automatically
to http://office.microsoft.com/it-it/default.aspx, which shows the Italian
language. Same applies to Office Update, but Windows Update shows English.
How do I get back to English for Office Update?
Thanks in advance

Stan Waisbrod,
You should repost in the appropriate Windows group, here's a good place to
start:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/default.mspx
Likely that you need to clear your IE cache:

One of "features" of the Microsoft Office site is that you can select a
Office site for different countries/regions. Once you do, that selection
becomes the default for future use. Likely you, or someone was exploring
Office Worldwide {or it may have happened another way}.

Try going to http://ofice.microsoft.com and looking down the left side of
Office Worldwide. Go there and select United States.
If you cannot decode the Italian, try using:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx to go directly.

I have this happen to me when exploring other Office site. However, when I
did it, I always was checking an English language site.

Good luck.
