How to turn ON Language Bar

[Eddie Koga]

Having difficulties turning on the language bar. Went to Control Panel -
Regional & Language Options - Languages. Under Text Services & Input
Language - Details. Under Advanced - System Configuration, I turned on
advanced text services by unchecking the box next to it. I clicked on Apply,
but when I return to this window, the box is checked again. How can I keep
this box unchecked?
Under Text Services & Input Language - Details, under Settings -
Preferences, I am unable to click on Language Bar. What am I doing wrong?
I'm using Windows XP & Office 2000 Pro. Could it be these 2 are
incompatible? If so, which is better for use with Windows XP -- Office XP or
Office 2003? I need to use East Asian languages (Japanese & Korean), while
English (U.S.) is the primary language.
Thank you in advance for any help and/or suggestions.

Did Office 2000 use toolbars? If so, right click on the taskbar, choose
Toolbars, then click on Language bar.

Thank you, however Language Bar is already checked in Toolbars.
Anything else you can think of?

Somewhere in that maze of menus - Regional & Language Options, Languages,
Details, Settings, Preferences, Language Bar; you should be able to enable
it. But I'm using Office 2003 with Windows XP so mine may be different.
Maybe reinstall the language/speech bar.

Thanks again but I waded thru the maze and attempted to enable it but have
encountered difficulty, hence my posting here. Office 2000 and 2003 might
have different settings. I guess I'll have to wait until some one
knowledgeable with Office 2000 comes around. Anyway, thank you for your
assistance.

I skipped Office 2000, but I think you're following the instructions for
enabling extra languages in Word 2002 and 2003. See

Missing from Word Status Bar" for the Word 2000 instructions.
