japanese ime office 2003

[csw]

i have enabled the japanese IME, i have set windows xp home to recognize the
japanese language and characters, i have set microsoft office 2003 standard
for the japanese keyboard. i have enabled the language bar for office 2003
standard. when i press left alt+shift Word changes from english to japanese.
but i cannot type japanese kanji or either of the 2 kana's. i saw an image of
the language bar and i cant find it anywhere on my desktop. can you help me?

when you press on the left alt and shift key, towards the bottom right near
your clock (standard installs) do you see the EN and JP icons? When you do
this, right click in this area and restore Language bar, then change the big
A to the hiragana for A, this should allow you to type in hiragana from
english characters, then push the space bar in order to change toukyou to
Tokyo in Kanji.

Hope it helped.
