Really Need Help!!!!

I have installed Office XP professional and everything has got installed in
Dutch language,maybe cos the installation CD is from Belgium. How do i solve
this problem by changing Dutch to English for all the Office software
programs like word,excel,access etc. Please note that my operating system is
windows 98 and that too is in Dutch. I tried using Microsoft XP language
installation from Microsoft Office Help Programs, but it doesnt work after
restarting the PC.

You will need to acquire an English version of Office. The language cannot
be changed.

And an English version of Windows. You cannot install English software on an
OS of a differing language.

Hi Sarah,

Ummm, actually that's not quite true.
English language editions of MS Office are supported on
non-English versions of Windows.

The other way round (non-English Office on a different
non-English version of Windows may not be supported).
