Office 2007: English language pack necessary?

[Kevryl]

Hi, 3rd time lucky I'm hoping (I've posted this twice - successfully
acccording to the system, but neither has shown up).

I'm trying to convert my trial into the full program. I'm on the last leg of
the process and breing offered an English language pack at $40. Do I need it
or not - the page doesn't tell me. I'm assuming that downloading in an
English-spreaking country I don't, but what is in it? If I do need it buying
later may be more difficult/expensive.

Thanks.

You are not able to do this. You need to purchase an English version of Office and
uninstall the Office Trial along with the Activation Assistant. You cannot convert a
Trial version to a licensed version and at the same time change the language of the
version.

NO CAN DO.

G'day Peter. Wow... you really did get the wrong end of the stick!

I'm in Australia and have Office 2000 - bought in Australia, in English. I
recently downloaded the Trial of Office 2007 (still unsure if it was a good
or bad decision, but I guess inevitable, sooner or later!). I've decided to
bite the bullet and pay several hundred dollars for the upgrade from
2000-2007, and yes, I'm aware I'll need to uninstall the trial.

My question is, "do I need the English language pack - an extra $40 - , when
I'm downloading in an English-speaking country?"

I'm assuming not, but I don't want to find after installing that I get a
message telling me I it won't run without a language pack, and then finding
it costs me more to get separately.


One more question: I have uninstalled my Office 2000 on my new computer (the
new machine being the whole reason for upgrading to 2007- its a Win 7 machine
and Office 2000 is very uncomfortable on it). When I do download the upgrade,
will I need to have Office 2000 on the machine to be upgraded, or will the
download be the full version and my licence key be enough to "convince" it
that it is indeed a legitimate upgrade?

Cheers
