Default Can't get/download Spanish Keyboard or switch from Eng to SpanKyb

This has nothing to do with Word; and I've never so much as touched a
computer running Vista, but how different could something so obscure
be between XP and Vista?

Start Control Panel Regional and Language Options Languages
Details Add Add Spanish (and then pick the keyboard you're used
to).

Then to switch from English to Spanish typing, click the Language Bar
icon down at the right of your Status Bar, and choose SP. The shortcut
for changing keyboards is Alt+Shift -- each time you do that, it goes
to the next one in the list. (Since you'll just have the two, it'll
toggle between them.)

In Windows Vista / Microsoft Office 2007 I cannot figure out what I need to
download in order to get a Spanish Keyboard.

I create and edit documents mainly in Word, but also in other programs like
PowerPoint. *I would like to simply be able to switch between keyboards since
I am familiar with the Spanish keyboard. *(I usually do Spanish documents on
a different computer; not very convenient!)

I went to control panel and change keyboards, but the only language option I
have is English. *So now I'm trying to get Spanish, too, and I've spent about
3 hrs looking this stuff up online. *All I've gotten is a bunch of jargon
about LIPs and MUI packs. *

I am looking for a free method of getting a Spanish keyboard. *I don't need
the interface to display in a different language. *It seemed like the two
programs mentioned above were for multinational companies. *There has to be
an easier way!

Please help, I'm desperate!
