The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Word 97 for Windows 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

Microsoft Office 97 provides Far East support for the following four languages:

- Japanese
- Korean
- Traditional Chinese
- Simplified Chinese

Far East support is not automatically installed with Office 97 or Word 97. To
install Far East support as a separate component, see the "More Information"
section of this article.

When you install Far East support, you can:

- Correctly display Far East characters in documents created with the Far East
  version of Office 97. Without the Far East font, the characters appear as
  block characters. NOTE: The Far East characters can be viewed but not edited.


- Convert and view documents from Far East versions of Office 95. Without the
  Far East support files, the Far East characters are lost.
- Convert and view HTML documents in Office 97 programs and in Microsoft
  Internet Explorer 3.0.
- Correctly interpret file properties from documents created in the Far East
  version of Office 97. Without the Far East support files, if you open a
  document created with the Far East version of Word, the Properties dialog box
  (available from the File menu) is blank in the United States version of Word.
