Solve : english and american software?

Answer»

excuse my lack of knowledge but WONDERING...
i'm in the uk, with presumably a uk p.c. - if i buy american software i.e microsoft office from the u.s. will it work on my english p.c.?
just seems much cheaper.
probably a stupid question but...
thanks,
kevvyYes.a pc is a pc, just cuz its in the uk doesnt mean its different from a us one. there might be some LANG differences if you dont live in a english speaking counrty but other than that ur good to go Quote

well a pc is a pc is a pc,
but kevvy's question is not a pointless one imho.

For instance, as I'm neither from the UK nor from the USA myself,
I've found keyboard layout problems sometimes
with programs written for foreign keyboards.  

Try using a dos emulator like dosbox on my pc : I had to fetch
keyb.exe + keyb.sys after growing tired of guessing where the
slashes and commas and such had relocated each time  :-/

I understand this an extreme and unfrequent case, and
hardly relevant to kevvy's purpose, but
it's true nontheless  
no question is very pointless if the person asks the question doesnt know the answerA US VERSION of Excel uses the $ as the default symbol for the Currency STYLE formatting button, even though it will actually apply the £ or EURO dollar symbol, whichever is the default currency for your installation of Windows.  But, you may be able to change that default image for the Currency Style formatting button to your specific currency symbol.
