Enable editing of multiple languages in Office programs
- On the Windows Start menu, point to Programs, point to Office Tools, and then click Microsoft Office Language Settings.
- On the Enabled Languages tab, select the check boxes next to the languages you want.
Notes
- In Microsoft Word, when you have enabled editing for a specific language and installed the Microsoft Office 2000 Proofing Tools, Word will be able to automatically detect that language in documents and apply the correct proofing tools. For a list of the languages that Word can automatically detect, see Word Help.
- Some languages — for example, Asian, right-to-left, and Central European languages — have system requirements that must be met before you can type characters for those languages in Office programs. For most other languages, you can install the correct keyboard layout to type characters for that language.
