Microsoft Word 2003 help

[JK949]

My friend Mike wants to type word documents in his native Syrian Arabic language in
Word 2003. Is there a way to change the typed text language from English to another
language ? I tried setting the language in the tools drop down but it always defaults to
English. I have tried everything I could find in the Office Help and Google to no avail.
There must be a way to translate from one language to another when typing a letter.

Do you have the Language Interface Pack installed? I believe you need to install it.

Yes, you'll need to have LIP installed to use the different language packs.

Thanks for the link. Unfortunaly there is not one for Arabic listed. I'll look for non Microsoft
software that will translate it. Hope theres one out there.
