When I click on the currency format button in Excel, it formats the selected cells using a dollar symbol.

Problem is, I'm in the UK. I'd like it to use the £ symbol.

My Windows regional settings are correct. If I go to the Format / Cells / Currency dialog in Excel, the first symbol in the list is the correct £ symbol.

Same PC, wife's user account, Excel does the right thing.

Ideas?

My google-fu is weak this evening. Although I did find an excerpt from a MS press book that claims that we use the dot as a thousands separator in the UK (we don't).
