My Outlook 2013 calendar is showing temperatures in Fahrenheit, but I want Celsius!
So, I have spent the day installing Office 2013 RTM onto my work laptop along with Visual Studio 2012 etc…
Now I haven’t used Outlook in earnest in the Technical Preview, but now that we are in RTM, it is full steam ahead to ensure the new interface becomes a part of normal working life.
So Outlook is installed (MSDN version) and I go to the calendar and the weather module is pointing to New York and is in Fahrenheit. This is no good at all, I am in the UK in “sunny” Marlow.
So changing the location was easy, clicking on New York and adding a location was all it took.
To change it Celsius, it is available in the options (Backstage (File) > Options) in the Calendar section right at the bottom.
Et voila! and we are back into a local state 
From Office 2013 Preview / Beta to RTM installation notes
Just a quick post to note down some of the things I noticed when upgrading my work laptop to the RTM version of Office 2013.
I chose to perform an upgrade rather than uninstall Office 2010 first since I am still working in a 2010 / 2013 environment for the time being.
Installation
- Download from MSDN
- Grab key for activation
- Click to run installations from Office 365 Preview and previous Preview installations need to be uninstalled first
MSDN Activation
- Go to backstage (File)
- Click Office Account
- Click activate product and on the pop up you are asked to sign in with your Windows Live account
- At the bottom of the pop up, there is activate via a product key (the windows live sign in, won’t work for MSDN subscribers)
- Enter the key and click ok
- Restart the product
- Product now activated
- Some foibles based on my company’s internal environment
Project Professional 2013

)
