word multingual ?

[mambo king 2]

Hi,
I'm having a technical problem with Word.
I'm using my girlfriend's Japanese computer. The spellchecker's
languages include Japanese and English. However I would like to be able
to proofread texts in French as well.
No matter how hard I tried, Word didn't recognise French.
I fiddled with the control panel to change languages..to no avail.
Then I logged onto Microsoft's website. I could find French
spellchecker's updates for Office 2003, but nothing for Office 2000
(my OS).

Now I'd like to install a French version of Word on my computer. Can
I make it coexist with the Japanese version?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Not necessary. See above.

Sounds like an ideal question for an MSWord / MSOffice
newsgroup - that's where you will find most of the experts.
