	You are doing the right thing, however you have discovered one of my
favorite complaints about Mac Programmers (I can bitch, I'm one too..) and
that is that most of them don't realize that there is a word OUTSIDE the U.S.
Even though Apple has given them all the tools to make their software
compatible for all environments, they don't take advantage of them!  So you
can edit those resources to your hearts content - it won't help! (at least not
in Word and a lot of other appls)
