I had read on a blog that what you describe--enabling the tools in 2003, uninstalling 2003, installing 2007 worked. There haven't been a lot of responses to my original query, so I concluded people weren't having trouble with Word 2007. Mary Mary T.

If anyone has a more elegant way of doing this, I'd love to know. I spent some considerable time wrestling with this and trying to contact Microsoft and others to make sure this would be legal. The consensus was that it would be - it seems MS doesn't really care too much about getting paid for their language packs so long as you have paid for Office.
