I have a very basic Win7 usage problem:
My PC has an Italian keyboard, but I need to work with an US-English environment (Win7 is in English).
Problem is in many programs (most notably in PowerPoint) system defaults to Italian settings (including dictionary checking) and I have to change them every time. This is particularly nasty in Power Point because I have to change Language in each TextBox I create.
Need is to work with a full US-English Locale but to have a different Keyboard. I was unable to find the right setting (and the fact the laptop is actually French and Power Point templates I need to use come from Germany add confusion to chaos). Language bar seems to govern keyboard together all other Locale settings (which usually makes sense, of course). How can I separate them?
Here are screenshots of relevant panels, as requested:

NOTE: strange thing is everything seems to work as expected today, even if I do not recall changing anything since yesterday. Did the system need a restart to actualize settings? Anyways problem seems solved. Sorry for the noise.
