OFF2000: Supported Configurations for Office 2000
WORKAROUND
You can work around this problem by running the Language Version utility (Langver.exe), which is included in the Office Resource Kit core tool set. The Office 2000 Resource Kit core tool set is available for download from the following Microsoft Web site:
To run the Language Version utility, follow these steps:
- On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Office Tools, point to Microsoft Office 2000 Resource Kit Tools, and then click Language Version.
- In the Use defaults for edit box, select the language you want. By default, the dialog box appears with the language of the operating system that is selected.
Administrators use the Language Version utility to change the LCID settings in the localized Windows registry, so that Office 2000 is installed with the correct language features.
NOTE: You can also run the Langver.exe utility on an English version of Windows to reset Office 2000 language settings; however, this use of the tool is
not supported.
