Default Quick computer question



Looking at the photo above, where the gray right-click menu says Export To Microsoft Excel, my work computer (that also runs XP) says Translate this page to [English].

My question is, since both OS's are XP Pro, why doesn't my home computer give me the translation option, and more importantly, can I add the tranlation option to my home right-click menu?

Thanks guys .

I think you need to look at what version of Office you are running rather than the OS.

At work now, I notice the drop-down menu has 4 additions to my home drop-down...

- Backward Links
- Cached Snapshot of Page
- Similar pages
- Translate into English

I also notice that their version of Office is "Small Business". This sucks.

Is there no way I can add the language translation part to my Office?
