Question

I have German version of Win XP, and would like to install the Office to go with it. Must they both be in German, or can I have the English Office?
Can you recommend where I can buy English Windows software in Germany? I am based in Hamburg.
Thank you in advance.

Answer 2

Try this.

Answer 3

No, does not have to be german version. English should work.

But recommend "Open Office Portable". For most users as good as MS Office, it is freeware and the portable version would not mix your system.

Your should try.
You can certainly also install the normal OpenOffice.... but would use the portable version to have a look.

Answer 4

Must they both be in German, or can I have the English Office?

Some times ago I had a german version of Win XP an a french version of MS Office 2000. Both worked without any problems.

So I think that a german Windows and an englisch MS Office will also work together.

Thank you for your reply.
I can use any version of the office, just need the basics such as Word, Excel, etc.
