Hi ?B?c3RlcGhlbnk=?=,

Can Word translate Italian to English if so, where can I download the
additional languages, as my installation of word will only convert languages
such as French & Spanish.

Word 2002 and 2003 can translate single words between the two languages. But
for an entire document you'd need to use a third-party tool. Word 2003 provides
a link to WorldLingo, an internet service, that will do a machine translation.
But machine translations are notoriously unreliable (some languages go better
than others).

In order to get the tools for languages not available with your local language
of Word (English, in this case), you need to purchase the PRoofing Tools CD. If
you're resident in North America, you have to buy this from the Microsoft.com
online store.
