Question: I am using a template created by a French author in Word 2016. For documents generated with this template, **Word Options** > **Language** is English, but **Insert** > **Caption** generates French names (Tableau for Table, for example). 

How can I force the template or document to be consistently in English so that I get Table instead of Tableau?

Answer: 
You need to add the path of the folder containing `notepad2.exe` not the full path to the actual `exe`. So use:

```
C:\Program Files\Notepad2\

```

**NOTE:** Changes you make to your PATH (or any other Environment Variable) do not take effect in programs that are already running. The easiest way to make sure that your changes take effect for all programs is to log out and then back in again (or restart the computer, if you also want Windows System Services to see the change). However, if you just need to use the changes in the Command Prompt, it is enough to close the `cmd` window and reopen it.
Depending on what you are doing, it is also possible to use the "[App Paths](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ee872121(v=vs.85).aspx)" registry key.

This is how you are able to launch a number of applications, e.g. Chrome, Firefox, notepad++.exe, etc.., without them being in your "PATH".

Plus, it's best to keep the PATH variables as clean as possible, it will save a number of unnecessary files searches when the [Search path](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7d83bc18.aspx) is used. The order of the values in the path should also be considered for this reason.
