Hi,

I have a HP 6830 Pavillion with Windows ME and use Office 2000
Professional Edition.  About a year-and-a-half ago, I downloaded a
Hebrew Language Support from Microsoft's web site.  This download
allowed me to type Hebrew into Microsoft documents by chaging the
language in the Windows Systray to Hebrew.  I didn't have to create
any Macros in Office.

A few months ago, I had to reformat my hard-drive and lost the Hebrew
Language Support.  I have gone back to Microsoft's website but I can't
find it.  All they have is a download for Office 2000 Developer which
I don't have and which didn't work when I downloaded it.

Does Microsoft still have Hebrew Language Support for Office 2000? 
Where can I find it?

Thanks.

Hello ypvancouver,

Thanks for your question.

It appears your answer can be found at the following site on Hebrew
Language support.

http://www.geocities.com/fontboard/heblpk.html

Hebrew Language Support

Contents:

Add Hebrew Language Support to 

Windows XP 
Windows 2000 
Windows NT 4.0 
Windows 95, 98 or ME 

Configure Office 2000 or XP

Here you will find a link to download the language file and
instructions for installation in all of Windows Operating systems and
how to use this in Office 2000.

I trust this will solve your problem and install Hebrew Language
support for you once again. Do ask for clarification if this requires
additonal information.

Regards,

Hi Clouseau,

Thanks for your quick response.  I have seen the web site you
suggested.  I was just wondering if there's a download I can get
directly from Microsoft's web site.

Thanks,

Hello again, ypvancouver,

It appears that Microsoft has released a Multi Language Pack for
Office 2000:
http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/2000/oflangs.aspx

"Changing the Language of the User Interface or Online Help
Multinational organizations that have standardized on the English
version of Office can use Microsoft Office 2000 MultiLanguage Pack to
provide added benefit to members of their organization worldwide.

Microsoft Office 2000 MultiLanguage Pack adds key multilingual
capabilities to those already built into Office by providing the
translated text for the user interface, online help, wizards, and
templates for Office programs. By using MultiLanguage Pack, you can
view commands, dialog box options, online help topics, wizards, and
templates in a familiar language.

MultiLanguage Pack also includes Microsoft Office 2000 Proofing Tools,
which provides fonts, spelling and grammar checkers, AutoCorrect
lists, and other tools that can help you create and edit Office
documents in the language of your choice."


How to Obtain Multilingual Tools That Aren't Built Into Office

While much multilingual capability is built in to Office programs, the
MultiLanguage Pack, Proofing Tools, Visual Keyboard, and Global IMEs
are not. Here's how you can obtain them.


Microsoft Office 2000 MultiLanguage Pack 
Contact your local Microsoft Sales office. For more information about
MultiLanguage Pack, visit the Microsoft Office Enterprise Information
Center or visit http://www.microsoft.com/office/evaluation/multinat/default.htm.

However, the link above appears broken and leads to another MS Office
page. I searched here as well for Hebrew or Multi Language and found a
number of results, but most pertinent is the above mentioned page.

There is a FAQ on Multilanguage Packs available at this page:

http://www.microsoft.com/office/previous/deployment/worldwide/multilangpackqa.asp


It appears you will need to contact a Microsoft Sales Office to
purchase this add-on, or use the program I mentioned in my original
answer. I could locate no other Hebrew download from Microsoft other
than the Developer version you mentioned in your question.

I also came across one more package that might be of interest to you:

Global Office 3.0 Language Support for Office 97/2000/XP

Now you can write in all major languages from your standard English
Windows in Office 97/2000/XP! Unitype Global Office 3.0 is an
enhancement to Microsoft Office that adds text entry and visual
keyboard display in over 100 different languages to these Microsoft
products: Word, Outlook, Excel, and PowerPoint. It is easy to use, yet
powerful enough to support the most demanding tasks of businesses,
translation professionals, and academics worldwide. Best of all, the
program is simple to install and everything you need is on one CD-ROM.

Ooops. The search strategy should have been typed as Office 2000 Hebrew, of course.
