  • 4. Localized version
    I understand Office 2007 suite is available in different "localized version" options that offer different language options, i.e., English (US) localized version (English + French + Spanish) or Portuguese (Brazil) localized versoin (Portuguese + English +Spanish), etc. Does that mean I have the option of installing any one of the 3 languages of the "localized version", meaning all screen commands, etc will be in that language and I will also have the option of spell and grammer check in the other 2 languages? Ex. Install in English so everything on screen (commands) is in English but if I use/type/edit a text in either French or Spanish I can use spell and grammer check in those languages also?

I did not go to school for this. How can I get help?

Hi FBC,

There was an issue with this early on with Office XP
in it not recognizing the Small Business Edition
of Office97 .  See if you
can point it to the Office 97 CD as the qualifying
product when it looks for one.

3.Installing Office XP SBE over Office 2000 SBE? 

I have Windows XP Home edition and I am having runtime

4.Problems from changing from Excel 97 to Excel 2002 (Office 97 to Office XP) 

We have got an Excel/VBA application working very well with Excel 97:
in dropdown boxes, we were able to double click an item in a dropdown
box to select it using OLEOBJECTS. As we change to Office XP (Excel
2002), one problem occurred: now, the very same action wouldn't be
able to select any item from the dropdown box, and there was NO error
message at all. It seems that the program, for some unknown reason,
skips the OLEOBJECTS.  Any one has the similar experience or knows the
back-end of Excel 2002? Is there any change in terms of OLEOBJECTS
from Microsoft when their upgrading from Excel 97 to 2002? Thanks all!

.InsertLines .CountOfLines + 1, "    strSection =
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(""OurList"").Object.List(ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(""OurList"").Object.ListIndex,1)"

5.Conflict running Office 97 SBE with XP SR1 

I have read most of the chat on this site about the conflicts with these two 
programs.  I am not clear however that they are the same versions I am 
running. The machine has been offline for over a year and was originally 
preloaded with XP.  The Office is an authorized previous purchase.   I have 
reinstalled the platform so the machine is very clean (except for some 
preloaded, really useless E-Machine stuff) I am having the following problems 
with Word.
1.  The window is "faded out" particularly in the bottom right.  Hard to 
look at.
2.  It is not very responsive-i.e.-sometimes it just does not want to save, 
close, get rid of the assistant-almost like it is locked up-I have had to end 
the program at times.
3.  It only shows up as a program option for one user (the account that it 
was installed on)-I have them all set for admin.- as this was a suggested 
fix, but it is not working.  
4.  When I check it out in "add/remove programs"  it shows that Word has not 
been used since 2002. 
5.  Just a general pain but...No Welcome screen and error message saying I 
have installed a program that has eliminated the option though all I have is 
the XP preload, Office and a wireless receiver loaded on it.
6.  Automatic Update is running-but-that now includes Office.  How will that 
affect?  Is it going to try and update my Office 97 and if so, is that really 
a good thing?
7.  Is there an upgrade out there for the Office 97-short of buying a whole 
new suite?
I know these are lots of questions, but I would appreciate response to any 
of them to get it going in the right direction.  If I have to take drastic 
steps, I would like to do it before I turn my kids lose.  Thanks!
