I have a document I typed in English (American) and I need to send it to an
individual who reads German. I would like to translate may finished document
into German before I send it to them. Can I do this in Word 2002? (Office
XP) If so, how? If not, where can I find translation tools on the web?

Here's what Babelfish (the last link) thinks is the German
of your message:

Ich habe ein Dokument, das ich auf englisch (amerikanisch)
schrieb und ich muß es einer Einzelperson schicken, die
Deutschen liest. Ich möchte übersetzen kann fertiges
Dokument in Deutschen, bevor ich es ihnen schicke. Kann ich
dies in Wort 2002 tun? (Office XP) wenn so, wie? Wenn nicht,
wo kann ich Übersetzungshilfsmittel auf dem Netz finden?

And here's what Babelfish thinks its German means in
English:

It strikes me that Babelfish's translation of English into German is
superior to the reverse. My German is not that good, but this German looks
pretty good to me. Of course, the English may look good to a German speaker,
too. <g>
