If you work in a virtual office that spans the globe, or if you're often trading documents with clients or coworkers on other continents, you'll find that the multilanguage features in Microsoft Word 2002 are intuitive and easy to use. You might use multilanguage features, for example, when you want to do any of the following:

• Find out automatically in which language a document was written, and use the necessary styles, punctuation, and editing techniques to edit that document accurately
• Create documents that include text in other languages, using special characters and symbols
• Edit languages right to left
• Switch among documents in different languages to compare content and format
• Proofread documents created in other languages without having to use a third-party proofing program

This chapter introduces you to these multilanguage features and explains the enhancements now available with Word 2002. You'll find out how to enable multilanguage capability and work with the options related to multilanguage editing.
