Enable editing for one or more languages

When you enable editing for a language, special features for working in that language become available in Microsoft Office 2003 programs. For example, if you install the English version of Office and enable editing for Japanese, commands for formatting Japanese text appear on the Format menu in Microsoft Office programs such as Microsoft Office Word 2003, Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003, and Microsoft Office Excel 2003— and in other places throughout the programs— just as they appear in the Japanese versions of those programs.

1. Close all open Office programs.
2. On the Microsoft Windows Start menu, do one of the following:
   • In Windows XP, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft Office, point to Microsoft Office Tools, and then click Microsoft Office 2003 Language Settings.
   • In Windows 2000, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Office Tools, and then click Microsoft Office 2003 Language Settings.
3. On the Enabled Languages tab, under Available Languages, click the language you want to enable, and then click Add.
4. Repeat step 3 for each language you want to enable editing for.

Note  After you enable editing for a language, you may need to install system support and the correct keyboard layout for that language.
