About creating a Thai document

To work with Thai text in documents, make sure you do the following.

• Use a Thai version of Microsoft Windows, or any language version of Microsoft Windows 2000. If you are using a non-Thai version of Windows 2000, set up additional system support.
• Enable Thai for editing in Microsoft Office.
• Install the keyboard layout for Thai.

Microsoft Word includes built-in features for working with South Asian documents on the Complex Scripts tab (Tools menu, Options command) and the fonts Tahoma and Arial Unicode MS.
