"Office XP Pro with Frontpage" installation language issues
Hi all,
I have a computer running Windows XP in French... And, anytime I install Office products, they magically decide to install themselves in French.... While on "XP English" computers the same disks install in english (I just tested it). So I guess, Office magically decides the installation language based on the OS language. The problem is, I have problems exchanging WORD documents with collegues because they do have office installed in english (on english XPs)... See, I am very fond of using styles with Microsoft WORD... But the styles have different names in french & english. "Title 1" in french is "Heading 1" in english. While most of the time Word do a pretty good job translate the styles names, its is not TOTALLY functionning in all cases. See, I am using the {STYLEREF "Titre 1" \* MERGEFORMAT} to insert "Chapter name" information in my headers... While in french this is just perfect, in english the style "Titre 1" does not exist! I tried using "Heading 1" in STYLEREF for the French MS Word, hoping that maybe Office developpers implemented both the international style name & the US english style name... Well no, they didn't. Now, my collegues do well but I am not! While this is the first issue I have now, who knows how many I will have in the future? So, I decided to try changing the MS Office Installed language! I used the Office Resource Kit - Custom Maintenance Wizard to change installed options. For an unknown reason, no change was effective, though the process seems just to have worked fine!. I configured the following User Settings: - MS XP (user)\Language settings\User Interface\Display menus and dialog boxes in = US English - MS XP (user)\Language settings\User Interface\Display help in = US English - MS XP (user)\Language settings\Enabled Languages\Installed Version of MS Office = US English - MS XP (user)\Language settings\Enabled Languages\Show Controls and Enable Editing For\English (US) So, I am relying on someone to help me out with this. Anyone has a suggestion other than "Reformat, Reinstall XP ENGLISH, Reinstall Office"? Or a suggestion other than "Rename ALL your styles to custom names.... Those won't be translated between english & french"? Thanks in advance! |

"Office XP Pro with Frontpage" installation language issues
Well... my Office CD says: Microsoft XP Professionnal (in fact I have 2
CDs but I never needed the second CD yet). It does includes Access along with all other office programs. So I really do not know! How could I tell? |
