Office Professional 2007 Trial Download in Spanish instead of Engl
Christine 5/4/2007 12:20:02 PM
I downloaded this trial in order to try the professional version of Office.
However, it downloads in the Spanish language version. I never had the
opportunity to select any language. So... I guess the default for microsoft
is spanish now?????

I have always liked Microsoft products but I have never been so frustrated
with Microsoft or their products in my life. I have downloaded and
redownloaded the trial multiple times to attempt to solve this problem.

Has anyone else had a similar problem???

I've seen a few others with this problem so I'm sure they are aware of it.
Give Microsoft a chance to correct it.

Yes - I have the same problem and also find it frustrating. I called
Microsoft and they said there is no phone support for trial versions of their
software. I guess we have no choice but to wait ......

I tried it, but I still got Spanish. So, when you are at
http://trymicrosoft.com site, before you click on "Try me", click on "Get
more info"; on that page, be sure to change the language back to English
before downloading. It seems Spanish is still the default language on the
site. So Microsoft will have to clear this glitch. Good luck. (But then MS
says the trial period is over!; maybe will have to use another email address).
