WinWorld: Microsoft Office 95
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/10/29
Just in case I ever need it for historic reasons:
[Wayback/Archive] WinWorld: Microsoft Office 95
Because back in the days various Office products had localised VBA (at least German and French products had; I’m not sure about other languages)

So far for compatibility…”

- [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Heijmans on Twitter: “@Felienne No sources, but I think I can vaguely remember doing this myself in Dutch as well (wasn’t it also available in MS Access forms programming?). Perhaps there’s an (online/in-browser?) emulator for Windows 95 + that version of Office to try it?”
- [Wayback/Archive] TetraHis on Twitter: “@Felienne I vaguely remember even dlls with translated functions.”
- [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers @wiert@mastodon.social on Twitter: “@TetraHis @Felienne You might be totally right on this. Too bad those bits of history are hard to find, even in the @waybackmachine and @internetarchive: so few of it was documented on the world-wide web (most of it was in MSDN). MSDN ISOs are still to be found on-line.”
