I have Windows XP SP2, latest updates, and Office 2003 Professional SP2, also
with latest Office updates.

I installed the Japanese XP MUI and Office MUI, and Japanese MUI SP2 update.
The interface looks fine.

The problem I am having is after typing in say a Japanese name using the
'Hiragana' input in cell A1, and then in another cell, =Phonetic(A1), it
responds back with #N/A which is not correct. It should be actual Japanese
characters. On a different system with different XP image, but same Service
Pack / update level and Office service pack level and exact same Japanese MUI
packs, this Phonetic process works fine.

I tried reinstalling the entire Japanese MUI packs, and even XP SP2, but
nothing. My co-worker had reinstalled Office 2003, and no changes.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

D.
