chinese language

Dear Sir

I have the Window 7 home premium operating system. My Microsoft office is a starter kit. If I want the full version I need to upgrade.


I want to install the Chinese language pack in word so that I can also type Chinese words. I am thinking of installing the Chinese simplified. However I am not able to install the Chinese language upgrade. I suspect this is due to the fact that my Microsoft office is only a starter kit with basic features only. If I want to have Chinese language in word, I need to pay or upgrade. Please advice me what to do so that I can have Chinese words in my Microsoft office.


I look forward to hearing from you.

Office Starter was preinstalled by some PC makers under win7, it only features cut down versions of Word & Excel 2010, which you have found have limitations.

There is no upgrade option for Office Starter.

MS No longer sells Office 2010, the current version available is Office 2013

Dear Sir

Thanks for your reply.

So that means I need to buy Office 2013. The issue is this. Can I install Office 2013 on my existing operating system which is Windows 7 Home Premium that is currently running on my Fujitsu home computer. I think I might face problems again.

Office 2013 is fully compatible with win7, there are several different versions of 2013 ensure you buy the version you require, or perhaps consider Office 365
