MS office 2008

the Mac version. We were having one hack of a time setting proper
default fonts for multi-language support. After some searching and
NOT able to get anything from "you know who". I turned to NOT Bing!
but Google. Here's what I had to do:

1) close all MS Office applications
2) go to the Application folder then Microsoft, Additional Tools.
Double-click the Language Support Register. Here's the kicker! Upon
running, there were only two languages: 1) English and 2) Japanese.
Hello? Japanese? Yes, that is the option I had to select in order to
start the multi-language support in MS Office 2008 for Mac.
3) Now, another stupid step. Open Word and then select Preferences.
Select "Edit" and then UNCHECK "match keyboard font mapping"; from the
phrase, if I uncheck this option, I would get the wrong font; not so!
It's the right thing to do!
4) I had to select "Font..." then now I have all the options to change
my defaults!!! That's for Word. Now for PowerPoint.
5) PowerPoint, I had to select the Master template and then change it
line by line, slide by slide!!! Do you know how many there are?
Bloody ridiculous!!!!!

Who the f^&*(Ck thought of these option settings? First you have to
turn on Japanese language support, then do line by line changes? But
at least iron-wife is happily working away silently and efficiently
across my desk.
