Global IME

[Marissa]

Hi. I just bought a new computer yesterday and it didn't come with Microsoft
Office so I bought it separately and installed it today (Office Professional
2003). I tried to download the Global IME Japanese for it but when I try to
install it it comes up with a message saying that "This requires Office XP".
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

You apparently neglected to read the System Requirements listed
at the bottom of the Global IME (Japanese) download page. The
System Requirements are Windows 98/Me/2000/NT and Office XP,
while you have Windows XP and Office 2003.

You apparently also neglected to read the Overview section at the
top of the Global IME (Japanese) download page. The Overview
section says:
"IMPORTANT ... If you are running Microsoft Windows® 2000,
Microsoft Windows® XP, or Microsoft Windows® Server 2003, you do
not need to download the Global IME (Japanese). We recommend that
you use the Windows version of this IME instead. For information
about using Windows IMEs, see Windows Help."

In Office 2003 with Windows XP, use the IMEs in Windows XP as
described at
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/handson/user/IME_Paper.mspx .
Also see http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=309360 "How to use
East Asian languages in Word 2003 and in Word 2002 on computers
that are running on Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, or Windows
2000".

Hi Marissa,

As Garfield... pointed out Windows XP has included support for several previously separate IMEs. As you purchased an Office 2003
retail product after 25Oct06 you may want to check this page for obtaining a low cost/no cost upgrade to the matching 2007 Office
product when it's available in stores early next year.
