how do I change the menu into English from Hungarian?

C

clueless

I just bought a Student Teacher Edition of Office. Since the only Office
software available around here was in Hungarian, we got it. Now, how can we
change the menu and help things into english? I have been told there are
ways, just simply don't know.

Thanks

I take it you're referring to the Access Built-In menus... let's change the
WXYZ menu item (really Tools in English)

You should be able to right click on any menu bar, and select Customize.
A dialog box opens up up, but just right click on the WXYZ on the top menu
bar.
You can change the Name to "Tools", and after selecting Properties on that
same menu, change the Caption to "Tools" also.

To change the Names and Captions of the Tools submenu... in Customize mode,
left click Tools, and right click the submenu item you want to change, and
use the same process as above.

Use that same technique for all your Access menu items.

Beware... if you ever have to re-install Access, you'll go back to
Hungarian.

Check this link out... this is definitely worth a try before resorting to
manually changing all the menu Captions. Perhaps someone you know has an
English version you can get the MSAIN.dll from...

I tried the recommendations, but it didn't work. Maybe I wasn't clear enough
stating the issue (wanted to write more, but it didn't let me).

I would like to change the full menu bar (and subsequent ones) into English
(like if it was originally in English). I understand that if I reinstall then
it would go back to Hungarian. Someone mentioned all I may need is to get or
download the MUI 1033 pack, but I haven't been able to get it. Anyway to do
it this way? or any other possible solution?

Many thanks in advance!

That's all I can suggest.

Have you tried a web search on MUI 1033?

If you still can't work it out, try a new post. Folks may think this
thread has been responded to...
