Office compatibility with different language OS John Fitzpatrick 6/20/2007 1:32:02 PM I'm considering purchasing a new computer in Japan which has the Japanese version of Vista loaded onto it. I was considering buying the English version of office once I returned home. Is the software compatible? Or am I better off purchasing the Japanese version of Office to avoid compatibility issues?
