Japanese Windows XP with Microsoft Office

[Marty W]

Hi All,

I currently have a Japanese version of Windows XP (home ... i think) on

my laptop which I bought in Japan (duh!).


I was wonder if it is possible to install the English version of
Microsoft office (say as if i bought it off the shelf in Australia), or

will I have problems with localization (i've seen this word thrown
around the net) ?


Thanks !
Marty

I've installed an English version of Office on a Turkish installation of
WinXP Home without any problems. However Turkish uses a version of the Latin
alphabet, which is not the case with Japanese.

Hi Marty,

Installing a retail English language edition of MS Office 2003 on a non-English Windows version is one of the supported
configurations.

There are some settings that Office uses directly from the Windows settings in the control panel, but what you run into may also
depend on what else (other than Office) you have installed or later install that can cause some issues due to a language mix.
