LIPs don't seem to provide me with a solution...apparently there is no
English LIP!?!?!?!?!? Seriously? That's crazy!

I'm in Korea. I bought a Korean computer. It came with Korean Windows. I
need English menus and whatnot on my MS Office applications.

There *may* be a solution, but you're much more likely to find it in a
discussion group for Office. This group supports the Microsoft relational
database product, Access.

Try this to find an Office setup group:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/

In the tree on the left, open English, then open Office and Desktop
Applications. In the Office and Desktop Applications
subcategory, find and open the Office subcategory. Find a group there
for your question.
 
You will probably need to purchase an English (US) copy of Office, although
you may be able to return to the store where you got your computer and get
it exchanged for one with the English copy of Office.

There are more differences than just the Office program though. The Regional
settings will be different as well. So will the message boxes. If you intend
to program in English, it would make sense to get and English computer.
 
What version of Office and Windows? Korean Office 2007 ships with English:
you don't need to buy a Language Pack to get English..

In Office 2007,

On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Office, and point
to Microsoft Office Tools.

Click Microsoft Office 2007 Language Settings.

Click the Display Language tab.

In the Display menus and dialogs in box, select the user interface language.

This tab is available only when more than one language version is installed
on the computer.


To install English on the computer, you may need the Windows Installation
Disk. What version of Windows (XP, Vista, 7) are you using? I don't know how
the settup is done on Vista or Windows 7: perhaps some one else can help
you.

LIPs are not Language Packs. Language Interface Packs are for minor
languages. There is an Korean version of Office 2007. You can buy Korean
version of Office 2007. You can buy a Korean Language Pack for Office 2007
if you have English Office 2007. So there is no Korean LIP, just a Korean
Language Pack.

You can't get an English LIP because there is already an English Office. You
can't get an English Language Pack because EVERY language comes with English
already. You just need to install English in Windows, and then install
English in Office.
