Mac Office in English

[odross]

My problem is simple: I want to buy the MS office package, but as I
live in Spain I'm forced to buy on the Spanish mac page because the UK
or US page don't let me enter a Spanish shipping adress. I don't want
to buy a Spanish version-or is it possible to change the language of
the full package to English during installation?



Thanks, Oliver

Hi.

This is not possible, unfortunately, as the Office Install CD
is one of the few install media around that is *still* not
localized. I hope it'll change with Office 2007...

Thus you need to buy the English version, try some international
mail order company, or ask a friend in the UK to buy it for you.

You can't...... Office apps are not bundles with multiple localizations
and you simply can't switch from one UI to the other.

I've read reports that serial numbers worked accross localized versions
(eg: Spanish serial working on a US install).

Hi Oliver:

If you ring your local Microsoft Office in Spain, they can arrange to sell
you any of the other languages that are available.

Mac Office does not yet have the Multilanguage User Interface available on
the Windows version. So no, you can't switch the user interface language in
Mac Office like you can in PC Office.

Cheers
