How do I set Windows XP so that I can input Chinese in PowerWord?
Microsoft Windows XP includes language options in its OS. You simply need to set the system properly to have full operational OS for various Chinese dialects. Here are the instructions: A. Go to “Control Panel” and click “Date, Time, Language and Regional Options” B. Click “Regional and Language Options”. On the Languages page, in the “Text services and language inputs” area, click the “Details” button. Make sure to select both “English” and “Chinese (PRC)” for input. (The Chinese (PRC) selection will allow you to input Chinese characters using Pin Yin. You need to re-start the computer for the new settings to take effect. After you re-start the computer, you will see a selection box with “EN” (English) and “CH” (Chinese) in the tastbar for you to choose the input method. The Chinese input function not only applies to PowerWord but also applies to all Microsoft applications such as Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.
