WINDOWS

Summary:

The Excel Tutorial, or Feature Guide, will not work if the system has been configured with “Canada” as the COUNTRY choice during installation.

The default settings that the Tutorial was designed to operate under are COUNTRY=US and LANGUAGE=ENGLISH(American). When either of these parameters are changed and you try to run the Tutorial, Excel will normally provide a warning message stating that the Tutorial was designed to run under a COUNTRY setting of USA.

However, if COUNTRY (in the Windows version 3.00 Control Panel, under International) is set to Canada, Excel will not give an error message. The Tutorial will seem to be loading, then drop back to the open document. This will also occur if the Feature Guide is loaded with a COUNTRY setting of Canada.
