Can I change interface language on MS Office 2007?

[Nick Sergeant]

Hello!

Plan A
I have inherited a Win 7 laptop with MS Office 2007 Home and Student with interface language Swedish. I have poked around online and I keep seeing that, due to end of support for Office 2007, the language pack for English is unavailable? Do any of you know of a workaround?

Plan B
Alternatively, I can get a download (not from Microsoft but still) and install using my existing product code for a more than one PC version of Office. I tried this but it says Office updates are already installed.

I am reluctant to uninstall the existing Swedish version just yet (though I may have to) because I can use it somewhat. So now I ask, is there is a way to hide the presence of an installed MS Office for a while as I try out Plan B to install the same product again?

Thanks for any suggestions,

If you can you should make a backup of the laptop's disk. Whether you try to change the language or reinstall Office 2007 that will allow you to restore what you had before.

The following links are from the Wayback Machine (aka Archive.org). This site archives information that are no longer available from the original sites.

The following is supposed to be for 37 languages but doesn't say which ones.

The following is for the ISO for Microsoft Office 2007 Home And Student (English] if you don't have the CD for it.

Thanks, MisterEd

I used the link you provided to obtain one of the 37 language interface packs (LIPs). I will make that backup you suggested but can't do it for a few days. Once that is done I'll use SETUP in the LIP. Rather than use the link to a disk image of MS Office, I'll see if I can work with the installed version I already have to make English a selectable interface language there.
