SUMMARY
This article contains information about the Office 2000 Macedonian (FYROM) Update. The following text explains why an update was necessary, how to download it, and how to install it.



How Do I Use Different Keyboard Languages?
The programs included in Microsoft Office 2000 allow you to enter text in different languages. To do this, you must first install the support files for each language you want to enter:
 * 1) On the Start menu, point to Settings, and click Control Panel. Double-click the Keyboard control panel.
 * 2) Select the Language tab.
 * 3) Click Add. In the list of languages, select the language you want to install, and click OK.
 * 4) Click OK. If you are prompted for your Windows CD, insert it.

To switch from one language to the next, press ALT+SHIFT. To see what language you are currently using, look at the language indicator in the Windows taskbar; for example, "En" represents English (United States).

Why is the Office 2000 Macedonian (FYROM) Update necessary?
Because of a problem identified after Microsoft Office 2000 was released, if you switch to Macedonian (FYROM) (language indicator "Mk"), the characters that you type do not appear in the Macedonian (FYROM) language. This problem is corrected by the Office 2000 Macedonian (FYROM) Update.
