Chinese characters in English text-software

[Guest guest]

I notice in Jason's post an insertion of Chinese characters. What

software enables you to do this? Anyone else with information, please

chime in. I publish a journal in PageMaker 7.0 and need a way to insert

characters that is not too labor-intensive.

 

Thanks.

Frances,

 

 

 

I think most major operating systems will allow you to do this. For example

I use Windows XP and this feature can be installed at set-up or at a later

date (start-> control panel-> regional and language options --> languages

--> install files for east Asian languages). One can then insert characters

(via i.e. pinyin) into any document (i.e. word etc), email, web search etc.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Universities with Asian studies often have good information:

For Mac the Yale site is very good:

I'm on a mac and it's also built in and easy. There is an american

flag icon at the top right menu. Click and hold this and scroll down

to " open international " . You can then select the language and input

method. Let me know if you need assistance to access this.
