Language question

[wing007]

Dear Windowers,

I am on the edge of buying MS Office 2003, but I have a question about using
DUTCH MS Office 2003 on an ENGLISH Windows XP laptop.

Does using a different language version of Office (be it Dutch or any other
non-English language) work problemless on an English Windows XP?

I personally have a tablet laptop working on Windows XP tablet pc version
2005 (with service pack 2), but I suppose anyone with a "normal" Windows XP
version using a non-English version of Office 2003 can answer my question.

Please let me know.

Best regards,
Wing

Hi Wing,

There may be problems in Office from time to time
in any case, no matter which language,
but this article lists the MS supported configurations
for Office 2003 installations.

You may want to consider the English language edition
of Office with the Office 2003 Proofing Tools set as
an alternative.

There are also MS hosted Dutch language Office product
newsgroups available, news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.nl.office
for example or through your browser from
http://microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx
where you may find more folks with first hand experience in
setting up mixed environments.
