Dear Windowers,

I am on the edge of buying MS Office 2003, but I have a question about using
DUTCH MS Office 2003 on an ENGLISH Windows XP laptop.

Does using a different language version of Office (be it Dutch or any other
non-English language) work problemless on an English Windows XP?

I personally have a tablet laptop working on Windows XP tablet pc version
2005 (with service pack 2), but I suppose anyone with a "normal" Windows XP
computer using a non-English version of Office 2003 can answer my question.

Please let me know.

Best regards,
Wing

You can run any language version of Office 2003 on any language version
of Windows XP. There may be some minor differences in the way that
common components work, but you would be better to address those
questions to an Office (probaby a Dutch Office at that) newsgroup.

Dear Mike,

thank you for your reply. I will buy the Dutch version.

About placing my question in the Dutch Office forum, but unfortuntaley the
response was very low.

Again, thank you for doing this great job of helping people out.

Best regards,
Wing
