I've got Microsoft Office 2007 on my work computer and it's all in Korean. Is there a way to change the language to English?

I DON'T mean the editing language, all that's fine. I mean the menus and icons and the such. I've been using 2003 since it came out on my personal computer and now using 2007, the whole interface is different and I have no idea where anything is on it.

Someone here mentioned a patch to modify it or something like that. I believe this is the localized Korean version, but I think we're running some hacked/modded windows system, not really sure.

Anyway,any thoughts on this?

From the good folks at Smoeworld:

Hi all,
Here's a tip:
1) Go to isohunt.com or piratebay.org and download the SAME office version as your work computer. (Use MuTorrent to get the program)
NOTE: As you will be using the serial number your school uses, you are not actually stealing the program. You are just getting the English files.
2) Run the installation and choose "add or remove features"
3) Choose to install English
4) Go to Start>Programs>Microsoft Office>Microsoft Office 도구
5) Choose the one with the world and the A
6) Go to 일반 and change from Korean to English

That should do the trick! It's free and not illegal, and when you give up the computer you can change it back following the same steps.
*NOTE you will have to restart office to see the changes.

I haven't tried downloading it to do that, but according to MSOffice website, it says generally the same thing, about using the language settings, yadayadayada, but it hasn't worked. I'll give this a shot, see if that will do the trick.

For Office you can just download a Office Language Pack. In the language of your choice. Install it and you will see a new option under the Office Program group to change Language settings.

you can then select to have all menus etc in English or whatever.

get it from piratebay, demonoid... the usual places.
