Hi ?B?U2NyYXRjaGluZyBteSBoZWFkIGFuZCB3b25kZXJpbmc=?= ,

I have a computer with win98, with a French language version of office 2000.
I would like to install Word 97 (English). How might I do that?

You don't want to try it, unless you really don't mind have mixed languages in
your dialog boxes (and I mean any and all dialog boxes, not just those in
Office). Microsoft not only does not support parallel installation of multiple
language versions, they actively advise against it. And my experience confirms
that.

If you did decide to try it, I'd say uninstall Office 2000, install 97, the
re-install 2000.

Better - and the approach I've used for a number of years, now - is to invest
in virtual machine software that will allow you to run another instance of
Windows within the "main" window. That way, you can keep the languages totally
separate, and work in both at the same time.
