Russian Language - Outlook

[Alan Johnson]

We have a Russian Sales guy who is using Windows 2000/
Office 2000 (English Versions). His keyboard and regional
settings are set to Cyrillic/Russian. He can type in
Russian no problem. However when he goes into Outlook the
dates etc that should be in Russian are in fact showing as
meaningless sysmols. I have used the exact config on two
other machines and they work perfectly. I have completely
uninstalled Office 2000 with MS eraser utility and re-
installed. Played around with the language settings but
with no luck. Can anybody help please!

Thanks in advance.

What 'dates etc.'?
Any way:
1) Outlook 2000 - on English computer - lets a user send/receive
Russian messages just fine (with Subject field exception).
Here is my instruction:

2) But if your guy wants to use/see Russian _everywhere_ in Outlook,
(I don't know if it's possible at all in non-localized,
English Outlook), then he can cnange System Code Page of
Windows 2000 to Cyrillic. Outlook as many other programs uses
*system* fonts (and they do NOT contain any Russian right now
at your place) and System Code Page in some areas...
The instruction of changing System Code Page is here:

Thanks for you reply.

All seems to be OK apart from the Calendar - the months
show as meaningless sysmbols. ANy thing to do wit hdates
in Outlook is incorrect. For example messages received in
Inbox have a shortened day when they were received - Mon,
Tue etc next to the date. These show as symbols too on
this laptop.

Thanks

If he already did the following that I mentioned in my 1st reply:
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/PaulGor/full_e.htm#2000
and still sees the same problems, then it means that _English_
Outlook express can not work with Russian dates...
