Hi,
Microsoft Office 2003 programs support editing and viewing of documents in
more than 80 languages by taking advantage of the Unicode (Unicode: A
character encoding standard developed by the Unicode Consortium. By using
more than one byte to represent each character, Unicode enables almost all
of the written languages in the world to be represented by using a single
character set.) text encoding standard. The many different multilingual
features of Office are helpful if you work with files that contain text in
more than one language, if you work in a multinational organization, or if
you share files with people who use Office on systems that run in other
languages.
You or your system administrator can customize Office to handle conventions
and requirements that are unique to each language. You can also add
language-specific commands and features to Office.
To work with different languages in your Office program, you need to enable
the appropriate languages for editing by using the Microsoft Office
Language Settings tool. (On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to
Microsoft Office Tools, and then click Microsoft Office 2003 Language
Settings.) Doing so makes additional language-specific options available.
For example, if you install the English (U.S.) version of Office and you
enable editing for Japanese, commands for formatting Japanese text appear
on the Format menu in Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, and Microsoft
Excel.
Using the Microsoft Office Language Settings tool, you can also change your
default settings in Office to have them match the default settings of a
different language. For example, if you are using an English version of
Office but frequently work with right-to-left text, you can change the
default installation language to a right-to-left language, thereby setting
all of the Office defaults to right-to-left.
As you work in Word and PowerPoint, you can set the language of the text so
that the correct proofing tools are used, and you can add language-specific
words to a custom dictionary. In Word, you can fine-tune the ways the
program handles text in different languages. For example, you can turn
automatic language detection on or off, sort lists and tables according to
the rules of the language you choose, and summarize documents in the
language you choose. Additional proofing functionality is available in
Microsoft Office 2003 Proofing Tools. For more information about Proofing
Tools, see the Microsoft Office Online Web site.
If your organization has purchased Microsoft Office 2003 Multilingual User
Interface Pack, you can also change the language of the user interface and
Help.
