Windows Regional Settings
 
Regional settings control the presentation of some dates in the letters. In some letters you may notice the date presented as Month-Day-Year, when it should be Month Day, Year (which is the default in the Jazzit templates).
 
Another component that could be affected by Regional Settings is the way negative numbers are presented. Negative numbers could be presented as $(50.00) or $-50.00. The default presentation in the Jazzit templates should be $(50.00).
 
Regional Settings may also cause the Jazzit Financial Statements to get stuck in a recalculate position.
 
To set the correct date format:
 
  • In Windows, click the Start button and select Control Panel > Region and Language.
  • Click on the Long date drop-down and select the format MMMM d, yyyy.
  • To set the negative numbers to show correctly, click on the Additional settings button.
  • Click on the Currency tab and select the format ($ 1.1) next to the Negative currency format field.
  • Click OK.
 
Changing Long Date format
 
  • In Windows 7 click Start button > Control Panel > Region and Language.
     
     
  • In Windows 10 click Start button > Settings > Time & Language > Region > Change data formats.
     
     
  • Set the Long date format to MMMM d, yyyy.
