Archived from groups: microsoft>public>mac>office (more info?)
I gave my girlfriend my old iBook G4 to use for school projects but she has a problem with Thai support in all the Office 2004 Apps. She complains that the lines do not wrap correctly. In Thai, there is no space between words.<br>
<br>
Are there any language packs available for Office 2004?<br>
<br>
She also complains that when she views documents that she created on the Mac on a windows PC, the formatting is all screwed up. This I think is still related to the Thai issue.

Yes, it is. Thai is not one of the languages available for Office 2004. It
*is* available in Windows Office.

There's only one solution here: you're just going to have to take that
computer back, and give her your new one.

Oh: She already explained that to you, right? Smile

Sorry: there is no "good" solution.

Not from Microsoft anyway, but they are not the only game in town. I recommend Pages which is part of iWork 8, and costs only $79. it, like TextEdit, Apple mail, and any other app that accesses OS x's built-in dictionaries, will have no problem wrapping Thai text correctly on a Mac.

Pages is a good low-end solution, but it doesn't have the functionality a
student needs.

Cheers

Eh, I don't know. My students could use it without a problem, but all I
demand is the ability to do footnotes, and maybe the occasional table.
They do have to know how to Export a Pages file to Word. I wouldn't
write a phd dissertation in it, though.

I don't know too many students using complex features in Word, in general.

Yeah: I was thinking how sulphurous my ex-boss Dr. Guenter Plum, who edits
PhD theses for a living, would get if he were asked to do it in Pages Smile

What is it with you crabby old academics? You are worse than Technical
Writers....

No you're not. You couldn't be... Smile
