SYMPTOMS
After you install Office 2003, the Global Input Method Editor (IME) 5.01 is removed or becomes unavailable for use, and you are no longer able to type in the language of the Global IME that was installed.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because Office 2003 does not support Global Input Method Editor 5.01.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, do one of the following:
 * Install a localized version of Office 2003.
 * Download an Global IME from the Microsoft Web site.




 * Purchase the Office 2003 Proofing Tools Kit from the Microsoft Web site (the kit is not available in retail stores).




 * Obtain the Office 2003 version that contains the Office 2003 Multilingual User Interface Pack (MUI Pack).
