Understanding the MultiLanguage Pack

The MultiLanguage Pack comes on separate CDs, not the one you use to install Microsoft Office. Install one of the Language Pack CDs if you want to use multiple languages in PowerPoint.

NOTE

Even if you install the MultiLanguage Pack to enable multilingual features in Microsoft Office, you still need to verify that your system supports the language you want to use. This varies depending on the language you want to use and the version of Windows you're using; check your operating system documentation for details on language support.

To do so, follow these steps:

1. Insert the MultiLanguage CD that contains your chosen language into your CD-ROM drive. The Microsoft Office MultiLanguage Pack Setup dialog box opens.

2. Check to accept the terms in the license agreement and click Next.

3. Select the language or languages you want to install (see Figure 22.1) and click Next.

   Figure 22.1. Choose the language you want to install from a wide variety of choices.

   

4. Choose the language in which you want to display menus , dialog boxes, and help, as well as the default language of Office, shown in Figure 22.2. Choices include one of your installed languages or automatic setup based on your system settings. When you're done with your selections, click Next.

5. Choose Install Now to begin installation in the folder specified and click the Install button.

Office installs your selected languages; new features can be added to PowerPoint and other Office applications based on your language choice.
