? CHANGE LANGUAGE



In Microsoft Windows, click Start, point to Programs or All Programs, point to Microsoft Office, point to Microsoft Office Tools, and then click Microsoft Office 2003 Language Settings.

Click the Enabled Languages tab.

In the Available languages box, select the language you want to enable.

If you do not see the language that you want, or if you see (limited support) next to a language in the Available languages box, you may need to install additional system support for the language. The available support depends on your operating system.



For more information about system support for languages, click a link in the See Also section, which is visible when you are connected to the Internet.

To change the language to spanish:

Start Menu %26gt; Control Panel %26gt; Regional and Language Options.



Click on the ';Languages tab';

- click on ';details';



Click ';Add...';

- ';Input Language'; will be English (United States)

- Click on ';Keyboard layout/IME

- Choose Spanish as your language



You can either set up the key settings so that when you press a combination of buttons you will be able to change the language. The other way is to use the language toolbar. When you are in word, open to toolbar and you can change the language to the one you wish.



The other way to do this is while in Word, go to:

insert %26gt; symbol



From there you can choose the many different signals.
