Am inquiring on behalf of a French and English speaking acquaintance
from my work.
His family runs Windows 98SE and Office '97 Professional Edition on an
older family computer. Both the OS and the Office'97 were originally in
English. A French speaking relative, previously living with the family,
has "apparently" altered Office'97 such that all the Office programs
appear and run in French. The Title Bar, menu bar, status bar, dialogue
boxes, Help menu, popups, Spell-check, etc, etc are now all in French.
The links to Office '97 in the Windows 98SE start menu are still in
English.
The relative is now gone, the aging parents don't give a hoot and the
son (my acquaintance) wants to get Office'97 back into English on the
family computer. He has a laptop at work running Windows XP (configured
like Windows 98SE) running Office 2000, both in English. He wants to
be able to use BOTH versions of Office, on both computers, in English
for his work stuff.
I understand that all it might take to accomplish this is to manually
replace a "language" file (or files) in a folder that relates to
Office'97. Would the original file(s) still be available on his
hard-drive? If not, which are they...and where would he/I be able to
get them? What would we do with the "French" files...archive or delete
them?
Gee whiz..sounds all very bilingual, but thanks in advance anyways.
