Hey t-4-2,
Everything you need is there. I installed it on my computer and checked
it out in Wordpad. It works great. You have to click on the Language bar and
switch it from English to Chinese. If it doesn't work after you do this hit
the Control/Shift buttons and then start typing. When you type the word you
want it will type in English and then give you a selection of Chinese words
to choose from, such as 杜 霞, my wife's name. You must choose the correct
Chinese word because, as you know, each Chinese word can have several
meanings depending on how you pronounce it, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
9. See how easy that is. Let's do your name. 体-付-土。
Let me know if you have any problems.
C.B.
